Home and Environment

Have you taken any measures to make your home "green"? Over the past two years, I've taken a few steps in that direction at my home. Here are some of the measures I've taken:

Added insulation
Bought energy efficient appliances
Switched to low-energy light bulbs
Started recycling
Made a conscious effort to reduce waste
Cut back on paper towels and paper goods (rags work really well for cleaning)
Switched to environmentally friendly cleaning products (Many of them Quixtar-Amway Global products)

I'd love to do more. My furnace is due to be replaced in the next couple of years. I've researched various alternatives to natural gas and oil. Unfortunately, these are terribly expensive. And I am limited somewhat since I live in a condo association. Its a little difficult to convince your neighbors to spend thousands to put solar panels on the roof.

Have you taken any measures toward a green home? If you have a moment, drop me a comment and share what steps you've taken.
