Making your home a healthier environment can be a simple choice, whether its choosing more organic cleaners and fertilizers or recycling waste products.
You can reduce hazardous household waste by purchasing cleaners that are Design for the Environment (DfE) certified.
And in the garden or yard, look for organic fertilizers. Not only do they improve the soil but are better for plants, insects and animals.
When you’re done, recycle.
I am often asked “What is Eco Options and why does The Home Depot have this program?” The Eco Options program identifies products that have less of an impact on the environment than comparable standard products. Our intentions are to make it easier for customers to identify which purchases will help them reduce their environmental impact.
If you've been looking for ways to make your home greener, more energy efficient and cut utility costs, it doesn’t seem like an easy task, especially if you have an older home. Why not simplify the process and buy ENERGY STAR®-rated products whenever you can.
Maintaining a green lawn used to require a lot of time and energy — watering, fertilizing, not to mention fending off pests and weeds. However, with high-tech grass seed, water-conserving irrigation systems and eco-safe fertilizers and pest control, it has never been easier to tend to your turf with a clear conscience that you’re also doing right by the environment.
