This translates into potentially twenty times more solar heat gain inside your home in the summer and as well as twenty times more heat loss in the winter and that means extra energy is needed to provide both heating and cooling  </LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.doityourself.com/stry/eco-friendly-window-treatments"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Blinds and even curtains are often made from artificial materials including PVC and synthetic fabrics that require petrochemicals.
