Energy-efficient and planet-friendly solutions for every budget
By Monica Woelfel
July/August 2007
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MEANS (or desire) to build a green dream home from scratch, there's still plenty you can do to turn that inefficient 1950s split-level or drafty, er, classic Victorian into a model of 21st-century sustainable living. As anyone who's ventured into a home-improvement warehouse knows, the sky's the limit when it comes to cost. So Sierra offers you a range of options, from simple to sophisticated, that can help reduce your abode's ecological footprint. Every step matters--and the easiest ones are often the most cost-effective.
