Daily Home Renovation Tips

Today I’d like to write about the newest addition to the Energy Conservation area of our blog roll, Earth Hour.

Now wait. This is not some 2 week late attempt to get you to participate.

Rather, it’s to inform you of another area where the average home owner can go to obtain information on energy conservation tips for the home.

Did you know that the Earth Hour web site has a section dedicated for the home? Likely not. And, you wouldn’t be alone. The Earth Hour 1 hour challenge on March 29, 2008 not only heavily focused our attention on the one hour, but their web site was so inundated with hits that it was very, very slow to respond. A great thing, I think, to show how much the initiative took off in the weeks immediately preceding 8 pm local time on March 29th.

However, what good will your actions between 8 and 9 pm local time on that day serve if you don’t continue to practice energy conservation?

So, the At Home web page of Earth Hour has tips for sustainable living for home owners, including the Zerofootprint One Minute Calculator that is pretty cool and easy to use.
