Today the Australian Government had a victory as their Carbon Tax was passed in the lower house. With the focus of the Nation on a greener Australia and the growing cost of living, you could be reducing your footprint and cutting costs in your own home!
Did you know a vertical garden installed on the outer wall of your home could lower the temperature inside from 7 to 10 degrees cooler than a home without one! The plants and soil act to reflect the heat and create a barrier between your house and the sun.
If your house is cooler you don't need to turn up the air-conditioner, which will save you money on your bills during the Australian summer, and this will also significantly reduce your greenhouse emissions! It's a win-win!
