Green has gone mainstream. After a decade or two of steady growth, the Green movement has exploded. Today, "low-impact,""sustainable," and "eco-friendly" have become common approaches to modern living. Black & Decker(R) The Complete Guide to a Green Home is the first home remodelling book to recognise both the broad appeal of green practices and the fact that working within those guidelines can be done without extraordinary methods or premium prices.From kitchen remodelling to landscaping to installing lighting and flooring, there is hardly an aspect of modern homeownership that can't be conducted with a preference for sustainable products, efficient energy use and reduced toxicity. Because change occurs in incremental steps, Black & Decker(R) The Complete Guide to a Green Home presents a succession of projects that cover a wide range of complexities. Part of the industry-leading Black & Decker Complete Guide line of books, Black & Decker(R) The Complete Guide to a Green Home is truly a blue-collar guide to Green living.
