To have a home that’s more in touch with the earth, you don’t have to start from the ground up! It’s possible — and more environmentally friendly — to go green by renovating an existing home. Carol Venolia and Kelly Lerner have produced a remarkable book — packed with information and photos, and the first ever in full color to cover the subject. It’s completely user-friendly filled with motivational case studies and informative graphics.
