Many people
think about the same thing each and every day, and that thought happens to deal
with money. How much money they have, how much they want, and how they are
going to get more. While this is a relatively good thought process in some
instances, often there can be a lack of foresight into the more important
things in life when the focus is solely on money. Thankfully, there is actually
one thing that incorporates both good money management, as well as the more
important - helping the environment and us individuals stay healthy and happy -
and it comes in the form of using eco-friendly building materials instead of
toxic materials. The reality is that many people these days have the idea that
using toxic building materials instead of eco-friendly materials is the most
affordable of the two options. This could not be farther from the truth.
The
reality is that eco-friendly building materials are actually much more
inexpensive than their toxic material counterparts. The reason this is so is
because eco-friendly building materials are usually made from natural materials,
many of which have been recycled. Eco-friendly building materials also mean
that there is no big, smog-inducing factory used to make the majority of these
materials. Many eco-friendly building materials are able to be up-cycled
directly from the home of an individual, as well as sometimes, found in
someone's trashcan, or even in the local dump.
Eco-friendly
building materials might look "trendy" and expensive, but they are
actually inexpensive and very affordable. Some of the best eco-friendly
building materials out there today, which are all free or sold at an extremely
low-cost include bamboo, composite decking, reclaimed lumber, recycled glass
(one of my favorites!), shipping containers, vintage products, used fixtures,
sustainable paints, etc. Start building with eco-friendly building materials
and watch your good health increase along with your bank account!
