Aries: Daily green

It's a good time to start new home improvement projects. As you begin to plan out your ideas always think of a greener approach. If you're building something, use reclaimed or sustainably produced lumber. Buy work surfaces or tabletops from recycled plastic. Avoid using cement since it accounts for 5 percent of man-made carbon emissions. Any materials you don't use should be saved, donated or recycled. Keep trash to a minimum.
