The United States makes up less than 5 percent of the population, yet we easily consume over 30 percent of its resources, according to the Sierra Club, a US environmental organization. 


With climate change hanging over our heads, it is important to endorse green efforts and products. Thankfully, James Hardie offers fiber cement siding, made from locally sourced, raw materials, that are low in toxicity. 


With James Hardie, you do not have to sacrifice beauty or value to “go green”. In fact, James Hardie products are the perfect combination of beauty and environmental awareness, named the “Greenest Siding Brand” in 2016. 


The durable fiber cement material allows for low maintenance during the life of the board, which is under warranty for 30 years. Additionally, Hardie’s ColorPlus technology avoids job-site paint waste and exposure to volatile organic compounds, to combat air pollution. 


Instead, Hardie finishes are baked onto the board at the factory. This process also guarantees the longevity of this finish. ColorPlus boards will not fade over time, compared to vinyl which is known to fade due to sun exposure. 


By supporting companies, like Hardie, that make the environment a priority you are doing your part to help. Today, climate change is a growing concern that is widely debated. However, there is no debate that air quality has decreased, and non-renewable resources are dwindling. 


Essentially, the environment needs our help. Making more conscious decisions on how we lead our lives is key; every single one of us can make a difference! Join the movement today and invest in James Hardie siding!
