GOING GREEN IS THE BUZZ..FOR SURE..HEALDINE IN LOHUD AND JOURNAL NEWS COVERS GOING GREEN BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE.

Going green in Habitat has been our underlying color of our”blood” lifeline if you will, how do we save energy so our families can save costs…and the environement..

 

Using Structured Insulated Panels, we have been building with them since 1997..also using energy star labels, and other means..

To say the least. We believe that zero voc paints, recyclable flooring, and healthier products assist. Also we have used solar panels and others methods..as well as the most green thing to do,..teach people how to change their habits…use less energy, less electricity, changing bulbs, and even clothes lines again…not using hot water in the dishwasher or as much with showers…all of it adds up.

 

We also recycle supplies in our homes, going Green with our homes.and our Restore..using supplies that are donated to us..given to us..and helping us..to sell recycled supplies that generate money for affordable homes..

Today I want to thank Congregation Kol Ami for helping, with a brush with kindness project as well as Bronxville high school, Rye High and Hastings high school.
