| Just wanted to mention 2 tips lately,,my husband went out and cleaned our windows last week.We dont have paper towels so he used newspaper with the window cleaner,,,,they look great!! No streaks or anything.His friend said it has something to do with the ink in the paper,,not sure how much of that is true,,but the windows look great! Just thought that was a helpful green tip.
Also I get emails from www.lowimpact.com and they have a test on there to see how much impact you have on the enviroment,,just clicking on answers..maybe 12-15 questions.I am happy to say we have a low impact! Just 2people in our home,so Im sure that helped! |

| I couldn't use it, because of the zip code requirement I assume.
Would've been interesting to find out though.
Thanks for sharing.

| Thanks Donna!
My LILI (Low Impact Living Index) score was 67, with the average being 100.
It rated our household as pretty low impact but I know we can make improvements

| I got the site but could not access the survey....not sure if they considered apartments or not but am sure there are many things here that could be done in a large complex like mine.....they have just started redoing the outsides of the buildings, repairing loose siding, and painting , so maybe this will help in heat and cooling losses....
