Homeowners tell their eco-friendly remodel stories on GetWithGreen.com

As part of our commitment to bring you eco-friendly product information from homeowners to homeowners like yourself, GetWithGreen.com is pleased to announce “We Got Green - Homeowner Stories.”

“We Got Green” brings you stories direct from homeowners, written by homeowners who are remodeling. These homeowners have made a commitment to try and get a little “greener” during their project, and tell you about so that you might also do the same for our planet.

Not every decision they make will be “green”, because of the realities each homeowner might be facing in their project. Here at GetWithGreen.com we felt that this is exactly the same place that almost all of us are in. With their honest and insightful information, you will learn about practical choices you can make in order to make a difference. We also hope that manufacturers will stop, take note, and make an effort to do even more to make it easier for all of us! (we already have seen evidence of this with the following Comment on this We Got Green story)

Please welcome our guest homeowners, as they introduce themselves over the coming weeks. Don’t forget to sign up for the GetWithGreen.com newsletter where you will receive all stories as they unfold via email! And, if you would like to tell your eco-friendly story so that others can learn and be better informed for their remodel, then please send an email to: info[at]getwithgreen[dot]com!

SWIMMING POOL: Have you seen the first solar-powered Pool Skimmer?

Out of Phoenix Arizona today (where homeowners are still swimming), Solar-Breeze rolled out what they are calling the “World’s First Solar-powered Pool Skimmer.” While we haven’t gotten our hands on one of these robotic pool skimmers to test yet at GetWithGreen.com, we wanted to bring you the news because we think it is kind of cool.

The Solar-Breeze is an intelligent, solar power, robotic swimming pool surface skimmer, combined with a swimming pool Chemical Dispenser. It operates on solar power alone, and on internal storage batteries, charged by the sun during the part of the day when the sun is high in the sky. As such, there are no electrical connections required, and no power consumption!. Solar-Breeze collects debris from the pool surface, thus preventing it from sinking to the bottom. The solar aspects make this an eco-friendlier green alternative to running your Read more
