Summary: 25 Ways to Create an Eco Friendly House<br> <br> Green living sometimes gets a bad rap as being reserved only for the privileged. And curating an eco friendly house? Many people assume that doing so requires a hefty upfront cost. Here’s why:<br> – While organic food + hybrid cars are certainly green, they have oversized price tags and therefore aren’t accessible to everyone.<br> – Some eco-friendly products will save money in the long run, but their significant up-front costs deter consumers from ever purchasing. (A $30 box of disposable diapers, for example, is much easier to swallow in the short-term than a $250 set of cloth ones!)<br> – Finally, there’s a growing market for sustainable goods (Think: silicone bags, beeswax wraps, microfiber-catching washing bags, dryer balls, and many more). As a result, it can sometimes feel as though living green requires spending money.<br> But creating an eco friendly home isn’t just for the privileged; it’s for you and me, too. This week, I’m thrilled to offer 25 unconventional ways to be eco-friendly that don’t cost a single cent.<br> Even better?
