I am very excited to report that my office’s efforts to go green are working. Pacific Union has reduced it’s garbage by more than 50% over the last couple of months. The reduction is due in large part to the elimination of paper plates, napkins, plastic cutlery, and plastic bottles.
We now use recycled copy paper, and I often find paper being reused. I truly appreciate the efforts of our green police, although the motion sensors on the lights can be a little disturbing, especially if the lights go off and you get caught chatting with someone in the kitchen in the dark!
Way to go green, Pacific Union Marin!
Pacific Union GMAC Real Estate is in the process of becoming a green certified business. I find this very exciting! The first visible step was in our busy little kitchen. We no longer have disposable plates, cups, etc. Instead we have washable plates, bowls & cups. The office is using post-consumer recycled paper towels and napkins. Those little individual sugars and creamers are replaced with larger containers to eliminate waste. All those plastic water bottles- gone!
I noticed my fax confirmations were being printed on reused paper.
Some of the steps to go green are pretty simple, others will take some adjustment. I am thrilled that Pacific Union GMAC real estate is taking the steps to help preserve our environment!
