It’s not easy being green

by John Lauber on October 15, 2009

Well, OK it certainly has gotten a lot easier actually. Today is blog action day. An annual “event” where we bloggers are given a topic as a call to action. This year’s topic is climate change. A big part of this is being green, a hot topic both in and out of the Real Estate industry. We have designations, classes, etc. all to help us understand how to change our lifestyles and in the process help the environment.

One place to start is the simple lightbulb. According to Energy Star, using a Compact Flourescent Lightbulb (CFL) uses 75% less energy and lasts 10 times longer than a regular incandescent bulb. That’s about $30 in energy savings over a bulbs lifetime. I don’t know about you, but I could always use an extra $30 (justsayin).

Bigger changes occur after little changes begin. What are you doing to make a change?
