Interior paint, insulation & lighting questions

Submitted by Wannabegreen on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 21:46.

We will be giving our house a facelift, painting the interior, adding recessed lighting and replacing fiberglass insulation in the attic. We'd appreciate recommendations for "green" interior paint that is durable. Also, we will install recessed lighting on the ceilings - any recommendations for energy-efficient light fixtures (other than the "Energy Star" brands)? And, is the denim insulation a fire hazard? If not, what is it treated with to prevent it from being a fire hazard?  Thanks in advance for your responses.
