Hackney's Houses

I know it becoming a trendy phrase, but if it means bringing attention to some daily items we can do to help preserve our planet, then I'm all for it.

This month's Client Appreciation emphasis is on Going Green as well and it has started to open my eyes to the little things we can all do to help.

Seattle mayor, Greg Nichols, announced yesterday a possible plan to charge people to use paper or plastic for their groceries.  Nothing major cost wise, but the nominal expense does help to plant the reminder of lessening the impact of our individual environmental "footprint." 

Last week, many places around the world observed a one hour time period where the lights were turned off.  I heard on the radio the other day that in the lower mainland of British Columbia that one hour decreased the usage by an amazing 7% on the day. 

Little things with significant impact when amplified by many.

So, cheers to Going Green and becoming just a little more environmentally aware!
