While people may
debate the question of global warming, it is just common sense to use
products that have the minimum impact on the environment. Insulation, by
its very nature, is environmentally friendly by decreasing the amount of
energy used to heat and cool a building. But don’t be fooled into
thinking all insulating materials are equal. There is plenty of
“green-washing” that takes place to make products look more beneficial to
the environment than they really are. 
Cellulose Insulation is one of the
greenest products in the world. Made from a renewable natural resource
which diverts waste from landfills, Cellulose insulation not only limits
greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing, but also prevents waste
paper from releasing environmentally harmful gases as it
decomposes.
If all the paper
currently being put into landfills was converted to Cellulose insulation,
it would save approximately 7,030,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per
year. That is the equivalent of taking all the cars off the road in
New Mexico and Nevada each and every year.
