Today is Earth Day 2008 and an appropriate time to remember that we all have an important obligation to manage our resources wisely and leave the world a little bit better than we found it. And communities across the country are already living "green" in many ways.
CAI is pleased to announce a new program to help community associations of all types and sizes make their communities a little more green. Community Green is a new website dedicated to providing associations and their residents with resources, tools, and examples of how they can conserve energy, reduce their environmental footprint, and maybe even save money at the same time.
In the spirit of the environmental movement's credo "Think Globally - Act Locally", Community Green is designed to give community associations the tools they need to identify opportunities to be more environmentally active, build consensus within the community around particular initiatives, and achieve practical, measurable results. Results that have a positive impact and still reflect the unique nature of community association living.
And we want to hear more about what you are doing in your own community. Tell us how your association has made a positive environmental difference. Share your story on the Community Green website or click on the comment link below so that others can learn from your experiences.
