			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Ecologically friendly homeowners can choose bamboo shades for their window treatments and know that they are using a renewable resource that is earth friendly. Bamboo shades are a great choice when you want a refreshing change from modern materials. Bamboo combines all the elements of traditional and ultra modern, with a tropical flair.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bamboo plants grow rapidly, even 4 to 5 feet per month, therefore they grow in very tall forests, and they are biodegradable. There are no contaminants added, and bamboo shades are processed in low emissions factories, so they are truly a &#8220;green&#8221; product. Add to that benefit their good looks, and they are a winner all around!</p>
<p><span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You will enjoy quiet contemplation as your eyes enjoy the beauty of bamboo shades. They are made by weaving sticks of natural bamboo into various patterns and styles. Privacy is provided, but with the interweaving, you can still have light enter the room, which highlights the patterns. If you want more privacy, you can order your window shades with a fabric lining. This helps you manage lighting but still allow light to enter the room. Room darkening blinds are also available, for complete privacy and light control.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A natural material, bamboo also looks wonderful when accented with room plants, and other natural decorations. Add a small water fountain, and you will have created your own tropical paradise right at home. The window shades can be a focal point in the room, or they can blend into the background, as you desire. They are a natural product, non-treated, and as such, will have interesting variations in color and patterns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most bamboo shades are in the horizontal style, but there are vertical ones available also. You can get roll up window shades, roll down shades, Roman shades (layered), and traditional matchstick styles. Patterns include braided, woven, tortoise shell, and wide slats. Their light-weight is an advantage when ordering through the internet to save on shipping expense.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bamboo shades are available in many natural hues and some colors. They are easy to manage, and are controlled by a cord or continuous chain control system. Some even have motors to assist in balanced lifting. They are nice for newer neighborhoods where houses are large and lots are small, so you will obtain more privacy from close sitting neighbor homes. As a wood, the bamboo is also good for insulation effects, and heat control. You can get lower energy costs by keep hot sunshine out and winter heat in the room.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vertical bamboo shades are nice for older homes, as they give them a more modern look, yet cover large old window spaces with style and protection. There is some noise control when they are completely shut. One nice benefit from this type of blind is that you can have privacy but still catch a meshed view of the outdoors. Window shades come with a top valance to cover the lift mechanisms.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">EcoFriendly homeowners can choose bamboo shades for their natural beauty, and for their inherent contribution to earth friendliness. These shades are durable, to provide long lasting beauty with greater cost benefits in the long run. They are easy to clean, and with smooth surfaces, less dust is caught on the horizontal slats, and much less on verticals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bamboo shades are available in stock sizes and colors, or you can order custom sizes, lengths, designs, and colors. These excellent and hard working window shades look beautiful alone, or with added window shades and accessories. It is hard to go wrong with a product that is so right, and so environmentally beneficial. It is no wonder that the history and tradition of bamboo shades goes back for centuries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Judith Persit works from her store in a design studio, which is planned beautifully. She writes articles about bamboo shades. Learn about window shades at her website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Our planet is not replaceable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As obvious as that statement is, people still treat Earth like there is another one on the back burner. The ocean levels are rising, the ice caps are melting and our ozone layer is disintegrating; we&#8217;ve left more of a carbon footprint in the last hundred years than the rest of history combined! The good news, however, is that the word &#8220;green&#8221; is becoming more ingrained in our social consciousness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to environmental activists and supporters, the word &#8220;green&#8221; has taken on a whole new definition. Any attitude concerning &#8220;global environmental protection, bioregionalism, social responsibility&#8221; is considered green. The term has become a buzzword of sorts; restaurants, business, and manufacturers brandish the label to appeal to our ever-concerned society.</p>
<p><span id="more-50"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every day, people are finding new ways to become environmentally-friendly, even investing in green furniture. Decorating your house furniture made from recycled materials is not only fashionable, but it reduces our carbon footprint and preserves our planet for future generations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bamboo is a very good material for green furniture. Technically a grass, bamboo grows quickly, it&#8217;s sturdy and it looks good in almost every interior. Plus, furniture made from bamboo doesn&#8217;t require any deforestation. Because you can lay it flat for flooring, mold it into furniture, or even cut it up to make blinds and window shades, bamboo has become the go-to material for environmentalists. Plus, there are very few pesticides involved during its production.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Trees make our planet livable. By absorbing carbon dioxide and converting into oxygen, they produce breathable air, which is why deforestation causes such an outcry. However, there are tree farms dedicated to the sole purpose of producing wood products; these trees are certified sustainable. The Rainforest Alliance, one of the largest certifier of sustainable wood, uses the industry-standard Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, which makes it easy determine safe wood. Some staunch environmentalists forget that no matter what something is made out of, there are earth-friendly options, even wood. It is very easy to find wood furniture made from sustainable trees, just look for the FSC label or inquire at your local furniture store.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Rainforest Alliance also certifies any type of furniture made from recycled material: The Rediscovered Wood Certification. Sustainable forests are good sources of lumber, but wood lasts a long time, especially if it&#8217;s taken care of. Reclaiming wood from old furniture makes more sense than using precious land to grow sustainable wood. Using old furniture, houses, and even drift wood are good examples of how innovative people have been in creating green furniture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Green furniture also releases fewer toxins than synthetics. Many people don&#8217;t even consider this, but nothing in your house just sits there; everything produces airborne substances. Toxins released from furniture have been traced to birth defects and other health problems. Make sure that any new furniture you purchase has the Greenguard certification, which ensures the product has low toxicity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Making your home environmentally friendly can be a truly motivating process. Not only you will be helping to save the planet from pollution, but you&#8217;ll be also making savings for your budget by using less energy.  You might want to start by something extremely simple. Make it a house rule that everybody turns out all lights anytime they leave a room. You can also do something as simple as getting up earlier everyday &#8211; this will prevent using the artificial light and also save money and energy.  You could also replace your light bulbs with the environmentally friendly light bulbs. This shouldn&#8217;t be an overnight process, as throwing away current bulbs will only increase waste. Instead, make it a gradual process of replacing the bulbs with their environment friendly versions.  Continue with the simple things. Imagine your trash can. Downsize it. Alongside the trash can, place the recycling bins. Use one for glass. Another can be used for compost &#8211; organic items like the old food that can be placed outside in the garden. Other bins can be used for aluminum cans and recyclable paper.  By implementing the strategies listed above, you are on a good way to at least reduce the negative impact of your home on the environment and save it for yourself and and your children. It is worth to do something to make our world a better place to live in. Let&#8217;s try and we won&#8217;t regret that &#8211; our happy children and grandsons will thank us for that.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We have collated a number of kitchen design ideas from recycling food waste to green products that do not necessarily add expense to your home improvement project. Indeed, the long term cost savings made from energy efficient performing materials in the kitchen should reduce your carbon footprint for years to come.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some high-impact environmentally friendly kitchen design ideas:</p>
<p><span id="more-42"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Kitchen Recycling Centre</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look for sets of kitchen bins that allow you to easily separate rubbish &#8211; paper, food, bottles, plastics, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Waste Disposal machines</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These are ideal for reducing the physical amount of food waste down to small pieces. Then start a wormery where worms can compost down the food waste more efficiently. Use the compost on your garden.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Energy-Efficient Kitchen Appliances</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When considering your refrigerator, dishwasher or washing machine purchases for the kitchen remodeling project, each appliance will have an Energy Rating. Advanced technology now means that appliances can use 10 to 50 percent less energy and water than standard models</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Induction Hobs</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Induction cooking uses electricity to produce a magnetic field that reacts with the ferric content in stainless steel, cast iron, and enameled steel cookware. This excites the molecules and produces heat. The cookware (and therefore the food) gets hot, but the stove-top doesn&#8217;t. Less heat is wasted and the food heats faster, saving time and energy. Induction cooking is about 90 percent energy efficient as compared to gas and electric radiant, which are 50 to 60 percent efficient.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Dishwashers and Washing Machines</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Use a full load in your dishwasher and washing machine. If you are thinking of buying a new machine, make sure you buy a water efficient model. Have a look at our website where we have collated more information on water efficient appliances.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Stained Concrete or Indigenous Stone Kitchen Counter-tops.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your kitchen design should include materials that are durable and water-resistant for both counter tops and splash-backs. Stained concrete uses non-toxic, natural pigments rather than surface-applied stains. Many types of indigenous stone are available and can come from salvage sources. Make sure they are adequately sealed to prevent staining.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Energy-Efficient Task Lighting and Lighting Controls</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kitchen designs often include two or three light settings such as general, task lighting, and mood lighting. Maximize natural light wherever possible and low voltage systems for task and mood lighting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Eco-Friendly Kitchen Flooring</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Products manufactured from renewable forests can provide you with a beautiful, affordable and durable floor &#8211; and an environmentally responsible choice. Bamboo, cork, and eucalyptus mature in roughly half the time (or less) that it takes hardwoods, grown in colder climates, to reach market size.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Wall Insulation</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nothing improves the comfort and energy efficiency of a kitchen more than plenty of insulation in the exterior walls. To add insulation to existing kitchen walls, blow fibrous insulation material &#8211; fiberglass or natural materials like cellulose and mineral wool &#8211; into enclosed wall, floor and roof cavities. &#8220;Dense packing&#8221; the insulation inhibits air circulation within the cavities, thereby eliminating a major cause of condensation, moisture problems and air leakage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">o Kitchen Windows, Doors and Skylights</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well-designed windows and skylights can lighten the feel of a kitchen and save on fuel bills as well. Ensure the products used have low heat emission glass with solar shading, which increases the room&#8217;s comfort, protects items from sun damage and reduces condensation on windows.</p>
