Maine Watrefront Property - Living Green, Shopping Local

By
Real Estate Agent with Anne Plummer and Associates

I was talking with a friend of mine in Portland today who publishes an annual guide to "living green" in Southern Maine. This book, called the "SunriseGuide"  is chock full of great information, but the bonus is that it contains over $5000 worth of coupons that help the purchaser buy products which sustain and nurture a healthy and friendly environment.

Anyone interested in living the good life in Maine, especially on a lakefront property, should take a look at this book. Once you pick it up, you can't put it down. It offers tons of helpful hints on such things as financing energy efficient home improvements, tips for improving your gas mileage, nature-friendly insect repellent, composting, and the efficacy of cloth diapers.

In addition, the advertisers have to satisfy a criteria, and I quote, "It is our goal that all products and services advertised in the SunriseGuide have significantly reduced environmental impacts compared to their competitors or alternatives." How cool is that?!

The book is divided into areas of interest including Food & Dining, Health & Outdoor Living, Home & Garden, and Style & Personal Care. Each section has an editorial focus as well as coupons from vendors in that area of interest.

From green building suppliers, to wellness spas, to many places to eat, to greenhouses, to recreational centers, to the Portland Symphony and Portland Museum of Art - all have valuable coupons here ready for use by you and your family.

Part handbook, part coupon book, this publication is a keeper. The 2009 edition is due out soon, but there are still plenty of 2008 issues available and the coupons are good through the end of the year.

Take an online look at this compelling publication and decide for yourself if you wouldn't benefit from having a copy. Click here to go directly to the SunriseGuide website.
