environment: GREEN HOMES NEED INCENTIVES - 06/05/08 03:07 AM
It is obvious that there is a need to green our residential and commercial properties. Carbon and CO2 emissions, oil and gas prices, and global warming ALL REQUIRE ACTION! Unfortunately, some greening ideas, that if implemented would save both monies and vital natural resources, are somewhat costly to install.

Many areas of the US have MLS' that permit entry of green features to a listing. Considering how important ecological, environment, and energy saving is today, it would be nice if realtors and others involved in the housing market got local MLS' to have an emphasis on the important of greening homes.
