Celebrate Sarasota Earth Day 2009 with a Green Commitment
To celebrate Earth Day I am posting my seven best “Green Ideas” that will save energy, money and make for a healthier living environment. If you haven' t implemented any of these suggestions try to start small and make an Earth Day commitment to at least one green idea. Like anything in life, the small things add up.
1. Buy a programmable thermostat and reduce your energy consumption by planning your energy needs.
2. Avoid buying plastic bottled water. Try to reuse everything, especially plastics…and recycle.
3. Reduce your water use. Make sure you have low-flow faucets, shower heads, and toilets.
4. Buy locally made food products and locally produced services. Healthy food, environment and economy. Try a local Farmers Market.
5. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. By using energy-efficient light bulbs you will save energy and money.
6. Turn off lights and electronics when you leave the room. Unplug your cell phone charger from the wall when not using it. Turn off energy strips and surge protectors when not in use (especially overnight).
7. Recycle your paper, plastics and other items that your local waste pick-up will take.

Founding Member of NAR's Green REsource Council?
Last week I had the honor of attending the FIRST National Association of Realtors Green Designation core class. This Designation is something I am very proud of and look forward to assisting my clients and fellow colleagues with the knowledge I have gained. Being “Green” is something I work on everyday. Now I can be source of information of all "Green" related Real Estate information in the Sarasota-Manatee area. You could just feel the energy in the room of most Realtors attending….they were beaming and thrilled to be founding members of NAR's Green Resource Council. This Green Designation and program offers us the ability to operate as Ambassadors in the Real Estate community. My mission is to spread the word and be a resource for subjects including sustainability, smart growth and the simple green choices we can all make in our daily lives. If you need any assistance or have "Green" questions in the Sarasota/Bradenton area please give me a call or search my blog for links.
