“Sustainability starts at home. It’s not about changing the world all at once, but transforming what you have at your fingertips.” – Vanessa Hauc, environmental journalist. In 2025, talk of sustainable and green renovation is not a fad: it’s a necessity.

Especially for the Hispanic community in the U.S., which represents more than 18% of the country’s population, and which is leading more and more domestic initiatives focused on energy savings, efficiency and care for the environment. And the good news is this: you can renovate your home without spending a fortune and, at the same time, reduce your ecological footprint.

Why does it matter?

A sustainable renovation combines energy efficiency, responsible use of resources, and environmentally friendly materials.

But most importantly, it helps you reduce your monthly bills.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), homes that implement energy-efficient technologies can reduce energy consumption by 30% or more.

That translates into hundreds of dollars a year!

Simple changes

Insulate and seal doors and windows

Good thermal insulation can be the difference between a cool house in summer or a stratospheric light bill.

Uses weather stripping, double glazing and recycled rubber seals.

These small actions reduce the use of air conditioning and heating.

2. Install LED lighting

Did you know that LED bulbs consume up to 85% less energy than incandescent bulbs?

They also last much longer. A small initial investment can pay off in the long run.

3. Use Energy Star certified appliances

Always look for this seal.

It is endorsed by the government and guarantees lower electricity consumption.

More efficient refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners make a difference.

Leading change

Latinos for Climate reports that 77% of U.S. Hispanics consider protecting the environment a priority.

Many are already taking action at home.

“When we installed solar panels last year, our bill dropped to less than $20 a month. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made,” says Arizona resident Rosa Martinez in an interview with Univision Noticias.

You don’t need a fancy remodel. You just need to make conscious decisions:

Change light bulbs, choose sustainable materials and prioritize what really matters.

Sustainable renovation not only benefits the planet, it also takes care of your health and your economy.

And best of all: empower your family to be an active part of the change, transform your home today!
