In an effort to promote a more "green" awareness for our industry, Housing Market Realty in Cocoa, Florida has tried to make a statement to its clients and colleagues. Although we have tried to do a number of things to become more green, we are seeking advice on additional ways to be more environmentally friendly. Here are some of the ways we are becoming more green. Please use these ways and advise on some other ways if you could.
1. We are a "Cell Phone for Soldiers" drop off point. - These are old cell phones that get re-used by our troops
2. We are virtually paperless. We are using a scanner for almost all copier like functions. We are using digital copies instead of faxed copies.
3. One of our owners drives his vintage mercedes on donated Vegtable Oil. (Really popluar around Thanksgiving and Christmas) http://www.news-press.com/article/20081128/NEWS01/81128010/1075
4. One of our owners drives a Toyota Hybrid
5. One of our agents drives an electric car.
6. We seperate out recycleable material from our foreclosure rehabs and listings
7. We use paint from the County Dump in painting some of our rehabs and listings.
8. We sometimes conduct office conference calls rather than meeting at the office all of the time.
Again, we are trying to make a difference a little at a time. Any additional commments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If any of you would like to use our ideas, please feel free to do so as every little bit helps.
