Toward A Greener West Virginia

close window

In January, 2005, Chris and Susanne bought a 1910 farmhouse in Morgantown, WV. Our goal? Restore our home in as green a manner as our bank account, and credit rating, would allow. After two years we were far behind schedule. The reason? All those great "green your home" articles and shows from This Old House, Natural Home, HGTV, etc. just didn't seem to apply to West Virginia. Most of the services and products were either not available here or were so underutilized that no one quite knew how to work with them. Sometimes we got lucky, sometimes we ordered online, sometimes we compromised. As we searched and talked with people, we noticed that others were going through the same process in one form or another. All this led to "Toward A Greener West Virginia." We want to share what we've learned, disseminate ideas, investigate new trends in our area, and spur action where we can. If you'd like to know more, let us know.
