GCR will be helping you understand what it means to be green. Since I started Green Collar Rap people have been asking me what is it? What does it do? I always give the same answer. It’s a blog that inspires conversations with information about environmental and social issues. This week we will discuss “What Green Means To You And Your Home”. From materials to mechanical systems. Today’s topic starts at the beginning. The Home Site. These points and tips are meant to be your check list. They should help you with some of your home renovations.
The Home Site
* Minimize disturbance of natural site
* Orienting home for maximum southern exposure
* Removing as few planting as possible
* Adding additional indigenous plantings
* Minimize lawn area
* Minimize imperious surfaces- gravel parking
Tomorrow we will “Rap” about Certified Materials
