(Non-green) Apartment Living... (Help!)
Posted by lianaclaire on September 15, 2007 - 8:47pm.
Okay, so my husband and I are moving into an apartment. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but we've been living in a duplex that gave us "creative control" so to speak. I was able to paint the walls with low-VOC paint, choose greener carpet, etc etc etc.
But now we're moving into an apartment where those choices are already made for us & they're most likely not the greenest. While it's a wonderful & gorgeous apartment, I'm still left to think....
How can I make it as green as possible (without violating our lease)? The walls are already painted, the carpet's already laid (and it's already fumigated... good and bad...). Should I focus instead on the positives that I can control, like what I bring into our new place? Open the windows and let in fresh air as much as possible? What do YOU do?
Thanks!!

I just looked at these links and they are awesome tips. I even bookmarked this site for future use. I like the fact that it is easy to use and the tips are simple ones.
I think that for you, the tips make sense. I would try and decorate using green products and keep what I could control as natural as possible. Maybe in the future, when the apartment needs painting, you could convince your landlord to use low VOC paint. I know when I lived in the city, my landlord would periodically paint my apartment and update the appiances. It would save them money too.
If you have invested in that apartment then it could be just couple of years from now when you would like to redo some parts which you are not sure meet your creatiria of being 'Green'. If its a good property as you have already mentioned then you will do thing to keep the property as beautiful as you have got it.
