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!

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!
