Green it up!

Lots and lots of people are speaking of Green stuff. Its funny. The slightest little efforts like leaving the water off while you brush your teeth... Shutting off all of the lights when you leave the house.... Reusing plastic bags that you get from shopping as trash bags. Why throw them away without using them to collect garbage? They are tough to break down and its best that we minimize our use of them. I personally rarely get bags when I go shopping. It's now trendy and actually quite handy to get the burlap or fabric shopping bags from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or Villa Hut. They are way stronger and hold more stuff too. A win win! And we are not taking these plastic thin pieces of chemical crap and filling our already full land fills.

I will go more into this subject as I blog further and specifically how it relates to real estate. However, we truly are making fractions of change toward our environment with most home green improvements or choices. What really will work is those very expensive light bulbs that use 10% of the electricity of their incandescent counter parts. Also, well insulated homes will help curb our energy bills. Fossil fuels are not unlimited resources so take the train or any public transportation when you can rather than driving your gas guzzling Cadillac (like mine).

I hope you find my bla bla bla's interesting as I intend to share things that I learn. Knowledge is the number one factor that leads to changes so the more we know of reducing our carbon footprint, cutting down on ozone depletion, and then some.... The more likely we all are to do something about it. I could go on but... I'll spare ya for now. Ta ta!
