Greening Your Home

The cost of heating and cooling our homes has been steadily going up. This will certainly benefit the green movement especially when it comes to retro-fitting existing homes.

There are several groups around Canada helping home owners to ‘green their house’. In Vancvouer, you can find Vancouver Renewable Energy Cooperative. In Toronto, there is a voluntary group called Our Power who promote and facilitate community-based sustainable energy projects. Our Power works with the Toronto Renewable Energy Co-op, a organization that has been in operation for over 10 years.

These groups and others like them around the country are helping to make sustainable energy common place in Canada. Do you know of more groups like these? If so, lets us know…

Finally, the HomeZilla team has been talking about some great new features that could help promote or showcase green energy. If you are a ‘green tech company’ working with home owners, we would love to hear from you.
