How great would it be to have someone come over and show you exactly what you need to do to create a green and healthy home for your family? I also couldn’t think of a more beneficial time to save on energy costs, especially with what seems to be a record winter so far across USA and Canada. But having your very own Eco-consultant sounds like it would cost a lot, right?
Think again. One of the more interesting business ideas I’ve come across lately is a company called Green Irene. Green Irene trains local people in your area to become Eco-consultants. This direct sales model allows people with a passion for green living to make extra money spreading the green goodness around by helping people make the energy efficient changes they want in their home.
Green Irene has a few super products to choose from:
- $99 will get you a Green Home Makeover Kit. This is where a local Green Irene consultant comes over and shows you step by step how to save energy and water, improve your air quality, reduce waste, reduce harmful chemicals in the home and yard and even more. After the consultation, your local Green Irene recommends specific researched products to help you implement the changes to your home immediately so you can begin saving energy cost over the long term.
- The $133 Energy & Water Conservation Kit is also a fantastic buy that could end up saving you over $4,200 in the next seven years! This is certainly something to look at in these economic times.
- Did you know that simple light bulb changes in your home could end up saving you around $7000 over several years? An EZ Bulb SwapOut Service will get your home suited up with new CFL’s and LED’s but you get to see what they look like first, before you commit to the switch.

Interested in finding out more? See if there are local consultants in your area. Going green these days has never made more financial sense and with Green Irene, you can save energy costs or even earn an extra income by becoming a Eco-consultant. Either way, you’re doing something great for our planet!
These are my thoughts on living a healthy and simple life. I'm a modern mom with some traditional ideas. At home, I try to clear the confusion from all the conflicting health and parenting advice with some common sense and a natural philosophy. This is the sanest way I know how to navigate the 21 century.

Hi there,
Do you know anyone who is a Green Irene consultant? I’d be interested to learn more about it from someone who is involved.
Thanks!
Your local electric company may project free home energy audits and will also have info on local rebates for “greening” up your house.
Also visit your local “green” supply store, they will have tons of products and resources that are really geen. Tried a true!
Green Irene is about selling products, their focus is not making your home healthier.
Good article! I looked into Grene Irene before teaming up with OnlyGreen, which offers similar green services but a more diverse product line. Our focus is on education as well as recommendation of green products that are as eco-friendly as possible, based upon our Product Selection Criteria which covers all stages of a product’s life cycle from manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and disposal.
