Green Remodeling Guides
I meant to write this post yesterday, but it almost seems more appropriate to do so today given the fact that my first two issues of Natural Home Magazine arrived.
That being said, I should warn you that this is not going to be much of a post at all - just wanted to point you in the direction of some interesting and useful resources.
I’m continuing to (slowly) make my way through my copy of Worldchanging (at this rate I should have a review for you by May) and frequently learn about great eco-resources I hadn’t previously heard about.
One such resource, listed at the end of the ‘Green Remodeling’ chapter (surprise!), is a series of PDFs put together by Seattle’s Department of Planning and Development, called the “Green Home Remodelling Guides“.
Here’s what Worldchanging has to say:
These online PDF guides are the best, currently available, free resource on sustainably remodeling your home - period. Covering painting, roofing, landscaping, plus salvage and reuse and working with a contractor, these guides are simply indispensable…
I’ll admit to not having spent too much time with them yet myself - but I have to say they definitely look great!
If you are thinking about doing some remodeling around your home be sure to check them out.
By the way, I’ve added the link to these guides in the ‘Excellent Free Resources’ section of our EcoSherpa Squidoo lens, in case you need to track down the link at some later time. I think the Squidoo lens is going to be very useful as a place to go & easily find some of the cool stuff we mention in our posts here on the blog.

I found the book Green Remodeling: Changing the World One Room at a Time by David Johnston and Kim Master to be a good resource. Very comprehensive.
