When your local Green Irene Eco-Consultant walks through your home with our Green Home Makeover Checklist, he or she will point out immediate changes you can make at no cost while customizing a set of recommendations on how you can save money, save energy, save water and live a healthier life. The Green Home Makeover concentrates on the interior of your home, though it touches upon yard areas as well. You need to be present and be an active participant in the process.

You will want to consider incorporating these to help in your efforts to green your home and save money.
