Online help for green renters
- Share via
Tips to sustainable apartment living abound online:
• Landlords and renters can check out tips and updates at the National Apartment Assn.’s Green Communities website, naahq.org/green.
• Moving? Find a center to recycle those plastic packing peanuts through loosefillpackaging.com.
• Rating sites such as Greenopia.com and GreenerChoices.com from Consumer Reports can help sift through products that are truly green and the ones that are just “greenwashed.”
• Instead of sending your fried laptop or your ancient television to a landfill, find e-cycling programs through the Environmental Protection Agency at epa.gov/ecycling or the Telecommunications Industry Assn. at ecyclingcentral.com.
•If you’re looking for an eco-friendly complex, GreenRenter.com ranks apartment communities based on their green features, location and eco-friendly offerings.
