This morning we had a short interview with Carter Oosterhouse — host of Carter Can and green building expert from Red Hot & Green on HGTV — on budget-friendly ways to be green this summer. We'll post a video of the interview next week!

Here are some topics we got into:

• What are some simple and inexpensive ways you can start being greener at home?

• Which green alternatives save people the most money in their home?

• How do you determine the impact your home has on the environment?

Stay tuned for the interview next week...
