Low cost and carbon neutral home retrofits

I found a cool blog where the author talks about how she turned her apartment in Barcelona into a carbon-neutral one. I reminds me of when I used to get Ready Made Magazine, except greener. Some ideas, like reusing old thingsand buying local food are obvious. Some are silly, or impossible to get because we live in the States. But the tone is fun and there are lots of ideas to riff off of. Enjoy!

Some cool ideas:

  • Steelcase THINK chair
  • Jaga energy savers radiators for condensing oil burners
  • cork floors (I have and highly recommend)
  • recycled plastic slate bathroom tiles
  • urban gardening
  • DIY lamps and glowing stools
