"Greening" your home, isn't just good for you, it's also a good remodeling idea if you are thinking of selling. Networx writer Steve Graham interviewed Lara Collins, a real estate broker in the Denver area. You don't have to go to extremes either. Collins suggests some simple ways to ecologically renovate in and around your home such as cleaning up your yard and adding some native plants that require less water and maintenance. If you need to do some interior painting, use low/no VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints. If you are updating a bathroom, put in low-flow toilets, showerheads and faucets. Collins also suggests putting in a countertop made with recycled materials.
