recycle an existing component of your home than to buy a new product. After all, what’s less green than throwing something in a landfill? With that in mind, we’d like to help you take a green approach to your DIY and home improvement projects. We’ll start by sharing some easy, creative ways that you can reuse, repurpose, or otherwise breathe new life into existing areas of your home.

Of course, we also understand that sometimes you need or just want something new when improving your home. So we'll show you some of your best-looking, cheapest options - which also happen to be environmentally friendly - for every room. In many cases, the greenest option is also the one that will save you the most money, which always gives you extra incentive to go green.

Along the way, we'll also dispel some green myths, and show you what kind of impact you can have on the environment "by the numbers."
