Green Irene LLC, a national consulting firm that promotes eco-friendly homes and offices, has just announced Kevin Thompson as its newest Eco-Consultant with the opening of his green consulting practice in Cazenovia. Now, Thompson is an independent, authorized distributor of Green Irene consulting services and products.
According to Thompson, he is trained to provide eco-friendly consulting services to local homeowners who want to lead healthier, safer and more sustainable lifestyles – while saving money by reducing energy use.
“Many individuals are unaware of how the environment affects their day-to-day lives. Now, I can teach my neighbors eco-friendly tactics, such as conserving water,” Thompson said. “I am so grateful to have come across this opportunity to educate Cazenovia-area residents on what I have learned about taking care of our environment and conserving, for example, the limited fresh water we have in our community.”
Eco-Consultants like Thompson perform 90-minute Green Home Makeovers by walking through the client’s home to develop a set of customized recommendations. The major topics covered in the Green Home Makeover include: energy conservation, water conservation, water purity, indoor air quality, toxic-free living, energy efficient lighting, recycling, waste reduction, and safety and emergency preparedness.
“Within those main topic areas we provide recommendations for immediate, free implementation through a detailed Green Home Makeover Report and Family Action Plan, as well as green home product and service suggestions,” Thompson said. “Some of the things we include with our recommendations are water and air filtration products, energy-saving light bulbs in every shape, water conservation products, composters, and other products to live a more sustainable, healthy life.”
With electric, gas and water costs going up, investments to conserve in these areas also make great financial sense, Thompson said.
“Cazenovia-area residents can save thousands of dollars by just making a few small adjustments. For example, energy-efficient light bulbs can cut your electric bill significantly, and low-flow shower heads and other items in our water-conservation kit can save thousands in reduced utility costs to heat wasted hot water,” Thompson said, adding that “even in tight economic times, investments that save money and have the added benefit of helping your family ‘go green’ make sense.”
Along with the consulting service, local clients receive a three-month membership to Ask Green Irene. This extensive, “green” database allows clients to research green-focused questions that may arise after the initial Green Home Makeover. It also allows clients the ability to submit questions to a Green Irene researcher for an answer to any question not yet covered in the database.
