[cid:[cid:image001.png@01CBB0A5.977DFD60]In spite of what window manufactures sa
y, replacing old windows is not an open and shut case. The National Trust
for Historic Preservation is happy to announce a new social media campaign
to help spread the word that people have options – choices – for improv
ing the energy efficiency of their home’s windows. Savethewindows.org<ht
tp://www.savethewindows.org/> is a site where you can learn about why retai
ning your home’s existing windows is a good option over replacement and w
ays that can help you maintain your historic windows.
Looking for ways to improve your windows’ energy efficiency? Check out th
e how-to guides or find a repair workshop<http://www.preservationnation.org
/issues/savethewindows/your_windows.html> to learn what you can do. Also,
look at the contractor guide<http://www.preservationnation.org/resources/ho
meowners/map.html> to locate a contractor in your community. Already know
of a great contractor in your area? Tell us, and we will add them to our co
ntractor guide.
How can you help spread the word about the importance of holding on to hist
oric windows? To start, here are four simple ways:
1) Share this short, irreverent video<http://www.preservationnation.org/
issues/savethewindows/> on Facebook, Twitter, your website, or by email. Di
stribute it as widely as possible and encourage folks to pass it on.
2) Take action and tell Congress<http://www.preservationnation.org/issues
/savethewindows/tell_congress.html> to support the House Home Star bill.
3) Place these print and electronic ads<http://www.preservationnation.org
/issues/savethewindows/partner_with_us.html> wherever possible – in newsl
etters, local papers, and on websites.
4) Forward this email to friends and contacts who agree that saving exist
ing windows makes environmental and financial sense and preserves the chara
cter of our homes.
If you wish to be removed from this distribution list, please reply with
