Gone are the days when going green meant fueling your car with vegetable oil and to turning the lights off when you’re using them. Innovation has fast-forwarded energy-efficient technology to the point where you can by prefabricated, modular homes that are made from recycled lumber and outfitted with solar panels, energy-efficient heating/cooling systems, and energy-retaining insulation. If homes delivered on wheels isn’t your thing, not to worry. Eco-renovations can be done by installing a solar panel on the roof, replacing windows with insulated glass to regulate the temperature of your home, or simply switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs. These modifications will require a significant investment initially, but the long-term energy savings will more than outweigh the initial costs- not to mention all the heart-wrenchingly adorable polar cubs you’ll be saving.
