What to Look For In a “Green” House…Homeowners Helping the Environment
THE LATEST NEWS ON THE TAMPA REAL ESTATE MARKET, BUYING A HOME IN TAMPA, AND REAL ESTATE ISSUES AROUND THE WORLD, EVERY DAY, ON THE REAL ESTATE SIZZLE.
Today is Blog Action Day bloggers around the world will be writing about ways to help the environmentthe Real Estate Sizzle is proud to be a part of it.
Green housing and eco-friendly materials are becoming a large part of the housing industry. Commercial Developers are also using green materials to attract higher rent prices and eliminate sick buildings .
Natural materials, such a wood and stone as flooring materials, instead of carpeting are becoming the norm in the green movement. Natural stone countertops, low flow toilets and higher efficiency windows, along with air conditioning systems with a higher SEER rating are just a few of the ways homeowners can help the environment.
Aside from using natural materials in construction, homeowners can also help the environment by limiting the use of chemicals, pesticides and other non-organic substances in their homes.
You can read more about natural ways to enhance your home, garden and your well-being, in some of my previous articles:

Jackie,
Thanks for your article about natural pest control.
Kudos to you for participating in blog action day.
I decided to write a belated post of my own about an environmental issue that might strike a cord with some of your readers:
Brazilian teak hardwood floors, slave labor, and the destruction of the rain forest.
You can find it at:

Anything that you can do to help promote awareness of this issue will be deeply appreciated.
Keep up your good work.
Thank you!

Excellent post. The more we raise awareness about these issues the more people will pay attention. I was actually reading about a builder the other day that is building a 35 Million dollar Spec home that is 100% green. Way to Go!
Enjoyed the read…keep up the good work. Great blog.
