2010 Green Resolutions for the Real Estate Industry
Here is an interesting link to a blog post by the WAV group. It describes what we can do as an industry to help the EPA, and hence our nation, meet its green goals – http://waves.wavgroup.com/2010-green-resolutions-for-the-real-estate-industry-how-can-we-help-the-epa-succeed.
A few highlights from the post about how we, as an industry, can help:
“Protecting America’s Waters – there is one simple, but unexpected way we can help clean up America’s waters. STOP using paper. By using electronic forms, faxing, and document management, we can help eliminate millions of gallons of wastewater generated by paper production. The production of just one piece of paper produces 13 ounces of wastewater. To produce the paper needed to process real estate transactions created more than 1.8 billion gallons of wastewater. We can eliminate this impact to the environment while saving money in our business by eliminating the cost of paper, printing, faxes, storage and retrieval costs. If you’re interested in just how much money you can save by eliminating paper go the Instanet website and check out their Paperless Savings Calculator.
