Sustainability is an attempt to provide the best outcomes for human and natural environments for both now and the indefinite future. It relates to the connection of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society, as well as the non-human environment”.
“It is intended to be a means of balancing civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential today, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals in a very long term. Sustainability affects every level of organization, from the local family to the entire planet. We must all strive to live a sustainable lifestyle. From biodiesel to recycling, solar to wind energy; this is a sustainable living resource meant to help us all learn to do this”.
Green buildings, like net zero energy buildings and net zero energy houses”are an environmentally-friendly way of designing, constructing, and operating homes and buildings that increases a building’s performance, minimize environmental impact on our natural resources, and maximize the experience for people who work, live and play in these homes and commercial buildings.
Sustainable Living Real Estate, Colorado going GREEN MEANS, using renewable energy, recycling, buying energy saving appliances, recycling computers and cell phones, using rechargeable batteries, supporting local farmers and ranchers by purchasing their food directly at farmers markets or in CSA co-ops, nourishing your family’s body and mind with natural foods, and reducing our use of water and electricity are habits we can integrate into our lives and they truly will make a positive difference in the world – especially if many of us do it. Sustainable Living Real Estate has identified
homes FOR SALE that currently meet SUSTAINABLE LIVING requirements. We are also developing communities based on these principals, as well as providing the most current expertise in “NET ZERO CONSTRUCTION”.
A huge part of living sustainably is buying products made locally. That fruit at the grocery store may be organic, but if it came 3,000 miles to arrive at your table the benefits of organic farming are negated by the carbon produced in shipping. Buy produce locally, and look for goods manufactured in your home country. The less the product has to travel, the eco-friendlier it is. We are extremely fortunate here in Larimer County, Colorado with it’s abundance of local farms, ranches and of course… WHOLE FOODS!
Just think of all the possibilities for future subdivisions that could have a private farm on site to provide food for the residents. Instead of using the community pool, residents will have the opportunity to work alongside agricultural experts to utilize all the benefits of growing your own fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and dairy. Northern Colorado with its abundance of wind, solar energy and available fertile land is a prime location to further this endeavor.
