You’ve heard it before: “pink is green.”

No, this is not some fashion statement that predicts the latest trends of the season – but green is always a good choice, by the way – but rather this is a saying that can not only help with the current problem of global warming, but it can also help you save a small fortune on energy bills. So what does “pink is green” even mean? Is the color pink green with envy? Is pink tickled green? Not quite.

“Pink is Green” refers to the eco-smart solution of using insulation (normally colored pink) to help with the environment (the ‘green’ aspect). What the saying suggests is that choosing to insulate your home is an eco-friendly way to go green!

Minnesota Insulation for the Green Generation

Going green is not just for our tree hugging friends anymore. Everyone should be doing their part to help the environment. After all, it’s not us who will suffer; it’s our grandchildren and our great grandchildren. If we don’t go green for ourselves, then we should be doing it for the future generations.

One of the most cost effective ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is through building insulation. Furthermore, the US could save up to 3 billion blimps full of the harmful C02 emissions if all under insulated attics across the United States were insulated. This is because, when your home is properly insulated, you do not need to continuously fiddle with the temperature gage, blasting the warm heat during winters and using the air conditioning during the sweltering summers. Your home is more temperature controlled all year round. You can do your part by considering St. Paul insulation for your home.

Pink and Green with Twin Cities Insulation

Of course, the colors ‘pink’ and ‘green’ represent more in the energy-saving equation than many people first think. The color pink is also the color of the energy efficient mascot, the Pink Panther. The Pink Panther is owned by Owen Corning, a leader in insulation supplies and systems, including the latest system to hit Minneapolis insulation- the “AttiCat”. The Pink Panther has his own commercials, blog and message to the world- it’s cool to be green.

What about the color ‘green’? One of the most common connotations with green is the color of money. And, although saving the environment should not be about money, you can stand to save a small fortune on heating and electricity bills by going pink and green. Not only is the government offering up to $1,500 tax credit back for those who choose Twin Cities insulation in their home, but you can also stand to reduce your current electricity bill by 20% when making the call and choosing insulation in Minneapolis.
