Green Products Can Be Confusing....

Wow, I have found so many products that will help us do this project green. Living in Washington, we have a lot of companies in the area that are eco-friendly. But it has been pretty challenging figuring out how to evaluate each product. From paint to insulation there are so many options out now. Most products are relatively new, with no real history of performance to rely on. We are cautious folk, I'm not about to spend all our time and money on something that won't last and perform it's function. It's also been difficult to determine how green certain products are, just because the advertising says something is "eco-friendly" does not mean it's even close to the most efficient or effective product out there. So we are trudging through products, one at a time. It's amazing to google each one and find reviews and real data on the pure facts. We are so lucky to have all this info out there. Right now the name of the game is research! Dig, dig, dig!
