You try selling a beautiful home that is situated on polluted land next to a landfill adjacent to a dead lake.

Oh, did I mention that the air unbreathable?   

Science Fiction?

Welcome to Mexico City!  It's happening in China as well.

Oh you say, it could not happen here.

Two words:  Love Canal.

Do you know that over the course of your life you will create six hundred times your adult weight in garbage?

That's roughly about 90 thousand pounds of trash per person.

And yet, even though these numbers are seemingly overwhelming, people don't realize how little it takes to change our world for the better.

Now try selling the house I mentioned earlier with Solar Panels, Energy Star Appliances, Low-Flow Plumbing and Insulated Wall Panels.

The results?

They are practically the only houses being sold in Mexico City.

Global warming is real, and maybe it does not affect the Real Estate Market directly today.

But it will one day, probably sooner than you think.

Everything comes full circle.

Best of Luck, and go Green.
