Green term of the week...

Vampire Energy Use

Products waiting to provide their main service suck up power to keep their electronic controls at-the-ready and for the multitude of glowing and blinking displays and signals throughout our home. Believe it or not, those blinking lights suck up a tremendous amount of energy.

Green Starter Kits

It needs to be easy to go green.  Don't know how?  Use one of our starter kits!

 

February is ENERGY month..

Every month Build it Green will be investigating a different theme, bringing interesting information and new technologies to you. This month we are looking into GREEN ENERGY check it out HERE..  

Did you know...

... that the energy we save when we recycle one glass bottle is enough to light a traditional light bulb for about four hours.  

... that certain non-recyclable paper products (such as tissues, napkins, and egg cartons) can be added to your compost. Their fibres will aerate the compost and help the organisms that encourage decomposition.

... that you can save an average of R720 a year by turning your home computer off every night. You should also turn it off if you don't expect to use it for the next two hours.

SEEDS from BIG

If you already have a vegetable garden, you already know how rewarding it is.  Get started here.

Why would an architecture and construction company hand out free seeds?  Because it is time to be responsible for ourselves, to manage our environment and our welfare.  It is so liberating.
