This week, nation-wide, there is an ongoing effort to inspire ‘go green’. Why?
Research conduct by the Martin Agency located in Richmond Virginia reveals ‘green matters’
• 8 of 10 consumers prefer a green product, service or information
• regardless of age, green matters
• consumers are willing to pay more (usually 5 to 10%); and,
• prefer to deal with a company that has an established ‘greening’ reputation.
So, individually, what can you do to ensure ‘go green’? Begin by measuring your environmental impact - eco-footprint, www.conservation.org/ecofootprint, shift to ‘green’ life style choices; and then, I want to encourage you to think eco-chic - landscape green.
Today, as I worked outside mulching leaves and clearing fall debris, I was reminded October/November/December is the optimal time of year to evaluate landscape, create a site plan and install eco-shelter – trees and shrubs.
In previously published blogs, I explained the financial value of landscaping, http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/curb-appeal/9675 as well as eco-efficiency, http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/cooling/9740 .
Presently, I want to encourage you to take your commitment to another level, eco-chic – a landscape that illustrates a waste not, want not naturalist commitment, http://housetrends.com/articles.php/Richmond/VA/14/landscape/4/From-Eco-... .
