Its the age old debate to why people will not buy “green” and that is, it costs too much! Well that is starting to not be the case as we see larger corporations adopting eco-friendly products and an overall consumer acceptance on the rise. It seems to me that there is no reason why buying eco-friendly products will just be a fad, but become the normal standard. With that being said, allot of people buy those old fixer’ upper’ kinda places, my parents included, and there is allot you can do to make your renovation a green one.
