The Absurdity of Inaction: Navigating Public Policy on Climate and How Homeowners Can Make a Difference
Inaction by the federal government in the face of rising energy costs and environmental challenges is absurd - but homeowners have options to make a real difference. By choosing high-performance construction or retrofitting with sustainable materials, homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint, lower energy bills, and create healthier living spaces. Small steps, like investing in energy-efficient solutions or exploring modular kits, can drive significant change, proving that every decision matters in building a better future. Don’t wait for the perfect time to act; the power to make an impact starts at home.
