Going Green – Cheaply
Condo Living, Decorating, Information January 30th, 2009
Many people find it hard to imagine the fact that going green doesn’t entail a lot of cost, for simple DIY projects can not only add beauty but make your small space more earthy and natural. Have carpet, why not opt for wooden floors made from laminated bamboo, they are sustainable and cost little compared to more expensive and rare hardwood. Want natural walls, simple hemp fiber mats hung on stainless steel rods can add a natural feel to an otherwise harsh cinder block wall, you can also use them for window coverings.
Get plants into the house, no matter what size for they add a touch of class, potted or simply cuttings in a vase with some aspirin. Change them once in a while or place them near a window so you don’t have to sun them too much. Love herbs, get them in pots and grow your own, urban gardens save you a lot in your salad needs for spices do cost a lot. Maximize small spaces by using shelving units that can be adjusted, you can inter-change the shelves making them look different if you get sore with the old setup. Small bathroom, opt for water-saving (recycling) toilet bowls that combines sink and bowl, you wash your hands, save the water for flushing later. Going green is cheap if you know what to do, it helps to make your small space warmer and greener.
