Living in Colorado we're surrounded by a landscape that reminds us of our need to conserve and protect our resources, but reaching a point where we feel our efforts are making a noticeable dent is difficult. Our homes are likely the biggest source of eco-impact we have, which means we've got to take a closer look at the structures we live in and the way they operate—and that's where the overwhelmed, vaguely burdened feeling comes in.
