Paints & Coatings (Before you buy...)
Paints and coatings contribute to the overall indoor air quality of a home. Select paints and coatings that have low- or no- VOC (volatile organic compounds). VOCs are the fumes that you smell while you paint, or when you walk into a recently painted room. The use of VOCs in paints and coatings is often to achieve smoother application or quicker drying.

Before you buy... Appliances
The smallest appliance decision can have a significant impact on global pollution emissions. Replacing an antiquated 1980’s refrigerator with a model that complies with modern, more stringent energy use codes will prevent the consumption of 800 kWh per year which equates to 1,600 pounds of carbon emissions saved from the air.
