Everyone is so active and excited about Going Green. I am glad that we have all joined hands in promoting this campaign. Today we see our environment more clearly than before, and realize that it is high time to turn our thoughts into actions. As Realtors we can be more sensitive to the environment from reducing energy and adopting ways to conserve energy use and adopting renewable energy sources. We can use paper in our work by making sure they are recycled paper and buying more that is recycled. Awareness can be spread by telling our family, friends and clients to help conserve energy as by turning off lights, stop wasting water, and making sure that we all pledge to reduce our impact on the environment for a more sustaianable future. Here are some things we all can do to participate in making the world more environmental friendly for future generations
1. RECYCLE. When you put plastic and glass in its place , you are helping to divert millions of tons of material from landfills and incinerators. In fact 75% of household waste can be recycled. When you are buying recyled products, you are helping to give new meaning to this famous phrase" what goes around comes around".
2. Compact fluorescent (CFL) lights last up to 10 times longer than and uses a quarter of the energy of incandescent bulbs. So go ahead make the change and spread the word around.
3.GRASSCYCLING. This is a new term for leaving class clippings on your lawn after you have mowed. It gives your yard nutrients and saves you work. Your home looks good and excercise makes you look good.
4. MULCH. Beautiful results when you use garden soil, shredded leaves, grass clippings to keep weeds and conserve water.
5. BIKE. Whenever possible bike or walk if you can. Discover your own route, a good way to excercise and reduce the use of fuel.
6. PARKS. Love and support your local parks. Parklands increase the beauty, health and beauty of your home town. (Adapted from Going Green. Macys.com)
