Green Irene Eco Consultant

Green Irene Eco Consultant

Having a Green Home Makeover makes the perfect gift for the holiday season or for anytime of the year. Your local Green Irene Eco-Consultant can lead your family to a healthier, safer, and more sustainable lifestyle and save you money by reducing energy use. Your trained Eco-Consultant will implement proven green home solutions in your home now.

Green Irene offers 90-minute Green Home Makeovers that encompass the interior and yard areas. Your Eco-Consultant will walk through your home and develop a set of recommendations on how you can save money, save energy and live a healthier life. We offer dozens of the best green home products available, and we will show you how to replace your wasteful incandescent bulbs, install low flow shower heads, how to buy green power and how to offset your family’s carbon footprint.

Along with your Green Home Makeover, you will receive a six-month “Ask Green Irene” membership, which gives you access to our extensive, green database. This allows you to research green questions that may arise after your Green Home Makeover. It also allows you to email questions to a Green Irene researcher for an answer to a green question not yet covered in the database.

You can also consider hosting a GO GREEN party for your friends. You will receive a mini-Green Home Makeover, and we will show your friends the steps your have taken to green your lifestyle and what they can do for their family.

Rely on your local Eco-Consultant to help you and your family along the path to a healthier, greener life. To find your local Eco-Consultant now, please visit us at www.GreenIrene.com. If you’re in the South Florida area, I can do a Green Home Makeover for you since I’m a Green Irene Eco Consultant myself.

Roadrunner 1.59GPM Shower Head

When living in an apartment or any where that’s not really your own there are limitations to just how ‘green’ you can make your property. We just recently moved into an apartment, not much can be done to make it more eco friendly but I installed the Roadrunner 1.59 GPM Shower Head in both the showers so that will help to a degree.

It took all of about 5 minutes to do both showers. Everything (including the plumbers tape..ya know the white tape stuff to wrap around the pipe) is included. It was easy peasy to change out both shower heads. If I could do it, anyone can make the eco friendly swap in minutes. The only set back I had was I was standing right under the shower head when I took it off to put the tape on after a test run w/o the tape, so naturally I got wet from the overflow but that was my stupidity in standing right there DUH! but, hey DD found it humorous so it was worth it!

So, now we’ll save water and of course money too on smaller water bills.
This is a for sure must have for everyone!

Get yours nowhere and join us in saving water.

Roadrunner 1.59 GPM Shower Head
This high-tech showerhead saves additional water and energy while you wait for your shower to turn on.
Your Price: $40.00
Your Roadrunner shower head lets the cold water run out of your showerhead, then stops the flow and waits until you are ready to get in. Your water is warm and waiting, not wasted. You restart the flow by pulling on a cord (not shown) or flipping the lever (the small ShowerStart technology attachment shown on the side of the shower head). The pressure compensating technology delivers a great feeling shower even in homes with lower water pressure.

Green Irene says: Over 5 years this one little shower head will save you at least 38,325 gallons of water and 1,150 in energy costs. Based on family of 3 showering daily and saving 1 minute of hot water per shower during warm up and 4.5 gallons while taking a 5 minute shower using 1.59 gpm vs a standard 2.5 gpm showerhead with a energy cost of .03/gallon of hot water.
