In a training session for my home sustainability work one of my classmates brought up how people used to be resistant to putting solar panels on their roofs because they thought it spoiled the look of their houses.
But now, having something solar on the roof is a status symbol. He called it “roof-bling”.
We recently “blinged” our roof, and just yesterday we got our new front-load energy- and water-efficient clothes washer. Our other big and very “public-statement” economizer is our Prius (bought used a year ago).
So, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Show us your “bling”.
ADDING: Since I am a certified Home Sustainability Assessor, if you have any questions about making your home more energy and/or water efficient (or about how to decrease your “carbon footprint”), feel free to ask me. I got loads of tips, and all that technical stuff as well.
