find, finance, and buy eco-friendly real estate -- work with eco-conscious agents and brokers -- use environmentally friendly materials and techniques for interiors and exteriors -- make their homes and landscaping more efficient -- take advantage of tax incentives for going green

This practical, reader-friendly guide gives readers all the guidance they need to easily become ecologically responsible homeowners.

That is the essence of Danny Seo's Conscious Style philosophy. As a leading environmentalist, Seo believes it doesn't take much time, effort or money to make a difference in the world. It's the small choices we make everyday-from what we wear to what we furnish our homes with-that have a tremendous impact. In this gorgeously illustrated book, Seo describes hundreds of unique, readily available products and easy projects to help you create a comfortable, elegant living space without harming the planet.

In Conscious Style Home, Seo transforms his parents' suburban home. Recycled paint in gorgeous colors brightens the rooms; bamboo blinds allow plenty of natural light; simple white canvas and hemp slipcovers give sofas and chairs a face-lift; recycled glass tiles accent the bathroom; luxurious organic cotton sheets and fluffy comforters stuffed with EcoSpun (made from recycled bottles) make the bedrooms a sanctuary.

So, whether you're planning to paint a wall, re-decorate a cluttered office, plant a garden, re-do the kitchen, or buy a new comforter, Conscious Style Home is an invaluable resource packed with easy projects, creative ideas and suggestions for enhancing your living space, indoors and out.

Low energy lightbulbs; hubby cycles to work; children walk to school; recycle everything we can: cans, bottles, plastics, textiles, cardboard; use soapnuts; have not repaired the tumble drier; compost waste food; garden organically; give unwanted goods away on freecycle.....
