Roofing (Before you buy...)
When considering a roofing material, ask the same questions you would ask when buying any building material. First, what is the origin of the material? In the case of traditional roofing products like asphalt shingles, the origin is petroleum. Aside from the obvious environmental ramifications of using petroleum products, there are also disposal issues to consider. Presently there are many roofing alternatives that may become total replacements to traditional roofing materials.

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.
