Green Space

One way of greening is economizing space and where better place to economize than than in your own home… Here are a few tips for making your home bigger:A flat screen mounted on the wall eliminates the need for a TV stand or armoire, it also looks sleek and great!Paint the walls and ceiling in a continuous color to make the room seem taller. Paint moldings, doors and the like in the same color as the walls. Strongly contrasting elements chop up the space.Miltitaskers: A daybed that converts into a comfy guest bed, for instance, is a great space saver that precludes the need for another piece of furniture.Use furniture that is scaled appropriately to the room. For example, an oversize sofa will eat up too much space in a small room.Provide good illumination, which will enhance the sense of space.

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.
