LEPAGE TOP TEN TIPS FOR A GREENER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE HOME
- Choose energy efficient appliances
- Ask for sustainable and green products such as those with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) specifically paints, construction adhesives, sealants and carpets
- Re-use where possible - Habitat for Humanity Canada has 58 ReStores across Canada (www.habitat.ca/restores) to promote the re-use of building materials, tools, and supplies
- Select building products derived from renewable or recycled resources
- Recycle and compost
- Seal any kind of gaps around the house where air can migrate into or out of the home - also important for air quality as air leaks are the number one source of mold and mildew
- Insulate your hot water heater with a cover or blanket
- Switch all household light bulbs to energy efficient LED lights or lower wattage bulbs
- Replace inefficient taps and showerheads to conserve water
- Use a programmable thermostat
ABOUT LEPAGE
LePage's history of innovation in Canada started in 1870, when William N. LePage of Prince Edward Island rediscovered the art of making fish glue. His effective, ready-to-use adhesive could be kept in storage for months. He formed the LePage company in 1876 and it quickly became the trusted choice of both Canadian consumers and construction professionals. LePage products are developed by Henkel Corporation, a worldwide leader in adhesives. Henkel is ranked among the 20 most sustainable companies amongst the global fortune 500.
