The GREEN Handyman

ACHP understands the importance of a healthier environment.How can we do our part?
Answer:By reducing our Carbon Footprint on the earth.

There are so many ways to do this such as solar energy.Another is installing power optimizing devices that save energy,lowers your electric bill,deduces chance for electrical fires,and halts unused but costly electrical current to your expensive appliances.

Another excellent way to become “GREEN” compliant is by choosing to have your home painted with low or non-VOC paints.“VOC” refers to Volatile Organic Compounds which are “off-gasses” such as paints, tobacco, products made from oil/petroleum, cleaning chemicals, etc.Off-Gasses are hazardous by-products of manufacturing.Other sources of “VOC” are:
    • printers / copiers
    • carpeting
    • particle board products such as cabinets, etc
    • air fresheners
    • vehicles
    • and thousands more..

VOC’s are toxic and are known to cause cancer, breathing disorders such as asthma, kidney and liver failure, and other health related issues.

You ever notice that “new car smell” or the plastic window blinds in a home baking in the sun smelling like burning plastic?These are examples of VOC gases that you breathe in.In some cases, automakers have replaced that new car smell with artificial new car smells to lower the off-gas emissions to more green friendly plastics and chemically finished products.
