I think I am safe in saying that we are all now aware of the need to be more environmentally aware. The world's population has increased hugely in recent years. We are now confronted with statistics such as the fact that of the estimated 110 billion humans who have ever lived around 6% of them are alive today. In 1900 the world's population was around 1.6 billion, while today it is not far off the 7 billion mark, putting a huge demand on the planet's natural resources and causing more pollution then ever before . Of course, figures like this can make a few tweaks to our home and a few changes to our habits seem entirely insignificant. However, change has to start somewhere and below you will find a few ideas for making your home that little bit greener.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1) <!--[endif]-->Solar panels. This is a wonderful way to get cheap, reliable and environmentally friendly energy for your house. You might think that the UK's climate hinders the efficiency of solar panels but modern designs work perfectly well even on grey, cloudy days. The current range of solar panels offer all sort of shapes and sizes and some even let you sell the excess energy produced to the National Grid.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2) <!--[endif]-->A greenhouse. This is a cheap and environmentally friendly way to grow your own vegetables. A greenhouse needn't be expensive to build. If you have children what better, and more fun, way to show them the importance of eating healthy, locally produced vegetables. If you don't much about gardening then a search through the web will give you all the information and tips you could possibly need.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3) <!--[endif]-->Composting toilet. This might be seen as being too hard core for a lot of people, but a quick look at a few internet sites will show you that modern options are clean, safe and virtually maintenance free. This is a particularly good option for people who live in the countryside.
There are plenty more ideas out there which are easily researchable. I just wanted to give you a couple of hints and make clear that the changing technology is making things like solar power and composting toilets easier and cheaper to use than ever before. Once you have decided what changes you want to make to your home another good idea to find a local builder online. The current "find a builder" sites work like auctions, where recommended local tradesmen bid to do your job. Finding and hiring a local builder is now easier than before, removing one more obstacle from your path to becoming greener.

What sites are good to find out what style my antique bed is?
My mom recently told me that the twin bed that I have is an antique. I don't know squat about antiques so, I don't know what style I have to know how to describe it. any help. besides the library or local antiques dealers they don't do appraisals in my area. thanks
Can you post a picture of it?
You could check the back of the headboard and the inside of the side rails to see if there is anything to identify the manufacturer or craftsman's name. It may even have an item number imprinted. It would at least help you to do some research. Or take a picture and send it to a dealer to help you at least identify the style or period even if they don't do the appraisal. An antique would be 100 years old..
Good luck.
