Going Green in Real Estate

As I ocassionally cruise around the rain, I see many posts regarding Going Green. Suggestions about how to Go Green, Information about Building Green..

This is actually good news. It seems as though people are realizing the Benefits of Going Green, especially in Real Estate.

Although we have to be careful not to Greenwash products, people, etc. - It is great news to be spreading the word.

The Green Active Rain community is very active. If you are wanting to know a little more about Going Green, feel free to join us in the Eco All Star Group!

janeAnne posted a January Challenge about 3 things you are doing in YOUR home to Green it up a little. If you are just wanting to share what your Local Community is doing to Go Green, we would LOVE to hear about it!

Have you written a post recently about what how Your Area is Going Green? Feel free to share the link here:

Here is one I did recently.

Aren't you the one who told me about the Eco All Stars group when I started my series about Florida's environment? I need to do another one of those this week. They're just so time-consuming =/

Stephanie - the Green Queen! So true! The ECO AllStars group is a great place to start and get ideas, links, and good content. As consumer awareness increases we will also see demand increase. There are so many great products and services available it can be difficult to know where to start. I'm glad I found this group and so many people willing to share. We all need to embrace eachother so this way of life can continue to spread!

The green movement is a mixed blessing, as we have talked about before. To raise awareness is awesome, but when people don't know what they are talking about it's another. And ultimately, who is correct?
