Green Apartment Communities

The key to living greener isn't making radical changes in your lifestyle, its being wiser with what you use or consume.  While living at an apartment community there are many things we can do to help us live better. 

 

·      Recycling

·      Using energy star appliances

·      Using  water-saving showerheads

·      Replace indoor lights with compact fluorescents or LEDs

·      Bringing  your own utensils to work; less plastic for landfills

·      Programmed thermostats

·      Using recycled paper

·      Using air purifiers and filters

·      Shopping for products that are locally grown

·      Try to cut down on the number of times you use your dishwasher

·      Use curtains and shades to keep the heat in during the winter

 

By making small changes in how we live our lives we can make a big difference.  By unplugging appliances you’re not using, taking a bag to the shops rather than using plastic bags, and switching our light bulbs to low energy we can be much more environmentally friendly and conserve energy.

 

Every year more than one hundred million trees are destroyed and three million cars’ worth of energy is consumed all in the name of producing, distributing, and disposing of direct mail solicitations.  The good news is that a growing number of companies are starting to turn their attention to the problem.
