Welcome to wowgreen, I am so excited to share with you a new way to clean your home and workplace. Wowgreen cleaners are all enzyme based with zero chemicals! Wowgreen offers a green your home pack, which includes 12 full size products allowing you to clean your entire home green. The purpose of this is to provide an easy way to go green. It’s very simple, you now have a choice to make, continue cleaning with toxic chemicals or make the change and clean with wowgreen 100% non-toxic cleaning products. You don’t even have to leave your home to shop for wowgreen, you can place an order at GreenSafeClean.net, and the products are delivered right to your door. The science behind wowgreen is the enzymes. Enzymes are naturally occurring molecules that work as catalysts to break down organic material. They exist in living organisms to instigate important functions, like digestion in humans. You apply wowgreen products to the area to be cleaned, the surfactants (small amounts of added soaps) gently lift the stain from the surface to allow the enzyme formula to surround the dirt and break it down.

This breaking down process takes about a minute to work, so unlike the cleaners you know, you do not scrub immediately. Just spray the targeted area, wait about a minute and then wipe or scrub away. You no longer will have the lingering chemical residue, like the residue that can be left behind and build up when you clean with traditional, chemical based cleaners. I have a top of the line HE washing machine that used to leave my clothes smelling musty, especially my towels, right out of the dryer. I tried everything from changing water temperatures to switching laundry detergent and nothing took away the awful musty smell until I tried wowgreen laundry detergent. It has been 3 months now and the musty smell is completely gone. I don’t even use hot water or fabric softener. It really is amazing how well these products work. All I am suggesting is you try these products for yourself, I am confident you will be as thrilled as I am to clean green with wowgreen. Please visit our website greensafeclean.net for more information about wowgreen or call us directly at 1-888-YES-WOWGREEN. We look forward to hearing from you today! Together we can improve our future; let’s go green.

Buying a foreclosure home can be an opportunity to go GREEN. HOW?

Well first, buying an existing home instead of building a new one will decrease the demand on material like trees and other natural products that it takes to build a new home.

Secondly, because most foreclosures are in need of repairs, choosing green-friendly materials and products during remodeling can definitely turn it into a greener home than it was before.

Why turn green? Here are some benefits in converting you’re foreclosure home into a green home:

1. You can lower your utility and water bills. Having energy-efficient appliances in the kitchen and media room can reduce monthly utility bills. Tankless water heaters mean less time and water wasted waiting for water to warm up in the sink or shower.
2. You’ll have the benefit of a healthier indoor air quality. Green-certified homes offer reduced exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. This is especially beneficial to sufferers of asthma and bronchial disorders.
3. There are tax benefits for going green. DSIRE is a database of state incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Through the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. government offers several tax breaks and incentives for efficiency upgrades to homes. The Department of Energy offers federal tax incentives. The USGBC lists local tax breaks. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also offers sources for green funding, as does the Energy Star program.
4. Green homes have higher real estate resale value. According to an article in Business Wire, on the one-year anniversary of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service’s addition of green-design search features to its property listings database, analysis shows that new and existing green-certified homes in King County sell in up to 18 percent less time and for 28 to 37 percent higher value per square foot.
5. Green building materials are more durable and needs less maintenance. Certain green building materials, such as bamboo floors, are easy to clean or require less maintenance than traditional carpet flooring.
6. You help reduced waste sent to landfills. Modular homes are built in factories that recycle the waste generated during the construction process and leave less waste at the construction site. Many green homes often use recycled building materials.
7. You help enhance and protect biodiversity and eco-systems. Using xeriscaping and native landscaping reduces needed irrigation.
8. Going green conserve and restore natural resources. Harvesting gray water saves on water bills. Composting saves money ordinarily spent on fertilizer and sends less waste to landfills. Alternative energy sources means a home neither contributes to rolling blackouts nor is it as badly affected by them.
9. A green home is better for the environment. In the U.S., homes are responsible for 21 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to the USGBC. By living in a green home means that you are helping reduce the causes of climate change. Using local materials means less fuel is used when shipping exotic materials from other countries and ensures fair trade and labor issues.
10. You optimize the life cycle of your home. The greenest homes are sustainable, meaning they are built to last and work effectively for generations.

I hope your not eating meat, and got rid of your plasmas and big screen tvs…you dont keep your thermostats above 68 degrees do you? Are you driving a smart car?

They say that they have a new slogan, “Pink is the new green” or something like that . . but does anyone have any information on how green they really are?

First it was the introduction of vegetated roof tops. The same technology goes vertical. The Green Living Wall consists of vegetation being applied to extreme slopes or vertical surfaces. Like Green Roofs the Green Living Wall will produce a variety of environmental benefits such as: preventing heat gain by shading and evapotranspiration, (Unlike trellis systems with vines that only produce shading), curbing the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) preventing concrete and granite from acting like charcoal heating the inner city, places to grow produce and food and an inspiring introduction to adding vegetation to an otherwise concrete oasis.
