"You can’t deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.

Fortunately, there are a【C8】______ number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from【C9】______ ones like Lincoln’s Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrade (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help【C10】______ property owners from rising power costs.
