How often do you hear people talk about how much you can lower your impact on the environment by spending a ton of money on some major home improvement or new appliances? They tell you how much it’ll lower your energy bills, as well; which is great, except that it can take up to 10 years just to break even. So, you ignore them and get on with your life, right? What if you didn’t have to wait quite so long to start seeing the financial, as well as environmental, impact of living greener?
