Green is Good

I spent some time with Marc Gould this week and he reminded me that NAR now has a green designation.  Since I can’t ride a mechanical bull as well as Marc, I thought I would make two contributions to the effort.

First, I wanted to let folks know that REBAC is offering a Green Designation course, taught by Terry Watson, during the Annual meeting in Orlando this year.

I also thought I would pass along some tips related to reducing the energy consumption of computers.  Yes, I know the designation is about housing, but my contribution should be considered tangentially related.  Although each computer uses a relatively small amount of energy, it is amazing how quickly it can add up.    Remember, even “wall wart” (hideous, I know) power supplies use energy if the are plugged into the wall and not attached to a cell phone, laptop or other device.

Maybe we are all Treehuggers to some degree!
