Become an eco-warrior without leaving home

Renovate or detonate? For most homeowners looking to upgrade their home, this question will no doubt be raised. Regardless of the answer, one of the increasingly common considerations is, how to do either in an environmentally responsible way.

Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) is no longer seen as a niche category. More and more homeowners are wanting to incorporate ESD principles into their homes, says Candice Collier, Westpac corporate responsibility manager.

"Westpac recognises the importance of environmentally responsible practices, which is why we've launched the green home loans initiative in conjunction with our Westpac Choices home loans."

Westpac has partnered with a number of building industry suppliers among them Resene, Pink Batts, and Matisse Furniture to offer customers discounts on a variety of products like solar hot water heaters, insulation, and furniture.

"Working closely with government and suppliers, we've come up with some great deals. So whether you're renovating or building, these discounts can help provide healthy homes as well as reducing power and heating bills," says Collier.
