PYC Awnings Go Green Cut Energy Costs

Awnings like this can add value to your home and cut energy costs.

We talk a lot here on the Recyclers Guild about ways to go greener, in our day to day lives. Today I was thinking as I opened my energy bill, what can I do aside from erecting solar panels on my house or putting a windfarm in my backyard (which the city won't like mind you...).  How else can I go greener by cutting energy costs in my home?  Then it came to me, one word : AWNINGS. 

So many colors and styles are available.

Awnings have become increasingly popular both for their environmentally friendly function and their amazing style. Many people are buying awnings for their houses and businesses to increase curb appeal and to save money on energy cost.  A bit of shade from an awning saves you on air conditioning bills!

If you have not gone through this process before, it can be complicated to decide where to start. Some of the best looking houses on the block are those with awnings, and store owners love the appeal awnings can add to their storefronts. While window awnings have been popular for many years, the growing cost of energy has made them even more popular.

The investment will save you money on the energy bill!

Obviously, in addition to helping decrease monthly energy bills, window awnings also increase beauty and style of a home and can attract attention to your business by adding awnings to your store windows and doors. You can actually add value to your home or business with these well designed window treatments!

I suggest starting with PYC Awnings. With over 100 colors available, it’s easy to find the color and style that will create a transformation to your home or business. Check out PYC Awnings for more information on colors, styles and how to save money and create a new look for your home or business.

Nature Bags of Jungle Vine Support the People of Laos

kirkscubagear is offering these Lovely Nature Bags. Nature Bags are made of wild growing Jungle Vine--by the people of Laos (Southeast Asia). Essentially this is a 5000 year old tradition of weaving which allows the ancient Khmu culture to use the natural vines of that region and turn them into something functional. The jungle vine is actually opened and stripped of it's core, which is a white ribbony like twine. The twine is then woven together and then woven into the bags!  Amazing strength and beauty comes from these sturdy bags which come in many shapes and sizes!   

These environmentally friendly reusable tote bags and grocery sized bags still come from small villages who are struggling with poverty. Primarily the women have been busy utilizing their thousand-year old traditions by making these bags and you can feel good knowing your purchase helps the people of this region.   Many styles and types are available, so go to kirk scuba gear who is an authorized retailer of these bags to find out more!
