Want to Know How Green You Are?


I try to recycle everything possible to create as little garbage as possible. I'm gradually changing over all of my lightbulbs, and I compost. But do all of those things really make me "green?"

Here are some resources to find out if you're truly having an impact:

  • U.S. Green Building Council checklist to identify a green home:

  • Calculate your carbon footprint:

  • Learn about the NJ Board of Public Utilities' Clean Energy Program and incentives available to go green:
