With retailers slapping the green label on every fashion accessory, tree ornament and desk lamp money can buy, it’s good to remember that living sustainably usually means curbing consumption habits, not purchasing a lot of crap. That said, the right energy-saving tools really do help. Greenmaker Building Supply specializes in goods to help reduce waste (worm composters, rain cisterns, low-flow water fixtures); eliminate toxins (low-VOC paints, non-toxic cleaning supplies, bug-killers and sealants) and lower energy consumption (electricity monitors, CFL bulbs) around your home. And if you’re planning a rehab, get environmentally friendly building materials like green board, cork tiles and bamboo flooring here.
