Going Green?

Going green doesn't mean you'll loose quality or style in today's market. There are multiple ways both big and small that we can make an impact on the environment. Switching out your standard incandescent lights to fluorescent helps save energy and over time the bulbs end up paying for themselves. Low flow toilets are now the norm but how about a tankless water heater to shake things up? You'll use less natural gas and end up saving on your bills as well as contributing to going green. Wood floors, such as bamboo are now more cost effective than ever! The selection that is now available greatly surpasses that of yesterday and cost less than traditional floors. Solar, by far is the biggest ticket item on the market. With a decent investment you can actually get your home to use nature for power. How about your power meter running backwards and having the LADWP owe you? There are a number of tax incentives available to help bring the investment cost affordable. Being "green enough" just means that you can take either big or small steps to help out the environment. Just begin taking them!
