DESPERATELY SEEKING GREEN LINKS

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent with American Apartment Owners Association

I am compiling a free (national) directory of green links for our website.  I'm coming across some great information.  For example, SMUD (Northern California's utility co.) has a fun carbon calculator that shows how big my carbon footprint is-apparently bigger than average I'm sorry to say! But, at least they offer some tips to help me cut down.  Have you come across a site that deserves to be on the list for landlords seeking the best green options? Also, I'm always looking for interviews for blog articles. If you are involved in green community projects or have tips that would be of value to our landlord member base, I can offer you some free publicity. Thanks, Kim, AAOA Blog Editor.

    Hi Kim;

     I spoke with Dan, and told him about the links that we use for energy101 basics on video:

    www.GreenEnergyTV.com

    Also there are several resource links we have posted on Change.org and on activeRain under the discussion Oil2Wind Power and Wind2Wheat Farming
