Looking for ways to go green at home?

The Better Homes and Gardens Living Green Tour — using biodiesel — has hit the road for a 15-city, seven-month, tour of America to spread the green living message.

The Tour features a 2,500 square foot Better Homes and Gardens “Living Green Home” — filled with green products, materials and appliances to promote resourcefulness, energy efficiency and everyday environmental practices to help consumers save money, live healthier and conserve natural resources.

San Francisco is the third stop on the tour. The Better Homes and Gardens 2,500 square foot Living Green Home will be in San Francisco’s Union Square on March 21 & 22, in conjunction with the annual Macy’s Flower Show. Tours are free and open to the public. Guest speakers will be giving demonstrations on small changes can have a big “green” impact throughout the visit.
Renovation specialists Steven J. Whittle, the host of the Living Green Tour, will be in San Francisco.

The Living Green Home features an eco-friendly kitchen, bathroom, living room and laundry room filled with green design ideas, building materials and products options and green living tips. The home’s kitchen countertops are made from recycled glass and bottles, the surfaces in resource room are made from recycled toilets; and the tiles throughout the house are made old car windshields. A sample of other ideas includes cork and bamboo floors and soy-based couches,

“The Living Green Tour is about people experiencing everyday changes they can make in their lives and design inspiration, products and materials to consider in their next home project or renovation,” according to a press release. “Better Homes and Gardens developed the Living Green Tour to give Americans the opportunity to fully experience how accessible and gorgeous being green can be. By exploring the home, touching the materials, playing with appliances, trying out green cleaners and more, Americans can learn about green options and take action.”

“Our consumers are passionate about home and keenly interested in everyday practices for living green,” said Gayle Butler, editor in chief of Better Homes and Gardens. “This exhibit extends our green coverage beyond our magazine pages and Web site, offering consumers a hands-on opportunity to learn realistic steps to save money, save energy, and minimize their impact on the environment.”

ORGANiKS Susan Jablon Mosaics 100% Certified Recycled Glass Mosaic Reviews!

THE WORD IS SPREADING!

Exerpts from Live Journal .com:

The Susan Jablon Mosaics on-line store has so many types of tiles - and a few different recycled types - but the OrganiKs is the newest and the one with the widest color ranges. I chatted with Susan about the new line - and she told me that many of the other "recycled" tiles are not actually so eco friendly, some are not fully recycled content - and others use some non-organic chemicals to make the colors - this new type only uses organic colorants. I really hope I can find a client to use them soon - I would love to play with these. I do a lot of green building, and I am so glad to hear that your planning to build your own green home - we love ours!

RE: Best advice from this forum

I learned so, so, so much from these forums--I basically consulted these forums for almost every decision in a whole house remodel. I really don't know what I would have done without them! The two things that stand out for me (and that I didn't see mentioned above) --Susan Jablon glass tile. Everyone who comes in my house walks up to my backsplash and has to touch it. I had just about given up the idea of a glass tile backsplash before finding out about her site on this forum. The price of her tile, even with shipping, was about half of what I could have bought it for locally and it is gorgeous! --reading about internet retailers and great products on here gave me the confidence to go ahead and order a lot of items on line. I had essentially universally a good experience with all of the on line retailers.
