Get the lowdown on sustainability from Light House

"Your Greener Home"

Eileen Wosnack, Owner, Eclectrix Organic Home

Have you been wondering where to start when it comes to going green? Do you have questions about the differences between natural, organic and biodegradable products for the interiors? Or maybe you are just confused and need a plan to make going green in your home more affordable?

I am a student and I rent a room in a house. Our electricity bills are very high and we would like to do something about lowering them. Are there any incentives for renters?
