- Just like we need to breathe in and out, so do our homes

- Many building materials emit toxic gasses that can affect the air we breathe.  Choose responsibly

- Good indoor air quality is achieved by both properly sealing and ventilating your home.

- Toxic offgassing can seep from the garage to the house.  Separate the garage from the house or install proper ventilation techniques to prevent toxins from entering the main home.

- In addition to replacing leaky toilets and faucets, think about improving the pipes feeding the fixtures.

- Low-flow faucets & fixtures are more costly than standard fixtures but will help you save money on water bills and, ultimately, will pay for themselves.

- Low-yield showerheads let you reduce water use while still having an enjoyable shower.

- Faucet aerators and sensors and touch technology cut down on wasted water.
