What's All This Then??

Hi! Tom here. You're my first and only reader! Congrats.

An Apartment Eco Mod is exactly what it sounds like–a do-it-yourself hack that saves resources or reduces waste. Going green is a hot issue, but for the 30 million apartment dwellers in America there can be constraints to consider:

  1. All modifications must be reversible. No holes in the walls.
  2. Barring that, modifications must be inoffensive or easily over-looked.
  3. No alterations to the exterior that change its appearance.
  4. No major appliance replacements.
  5. [Often] a restricted budget. Mods should be low-cost or no-cost.
… and yet there's still so much left we can do!

This site will be part project log, part schwank ideas from elsewhere, and part reader submissions. I'm gonna try to keep this free of the obvious stuff that everyone's heard before. Happy modding!
