Happy Earth Day 2009!

I feel like I really chipped-in today by recycling a house built in 1968.  Yes, selling it to new owners! Doug is helping save the planet again. Disclaimer: note that my sale was in Vienna, Virginia and not Hawaii as depicted in this photo.

Did you know that the economic slowdown has had a “green” effect on landfills? The Loudoun County landfill is now projected to have more than a year and a half extra room because trash volume is down. Hey, you didn’t need another new TV anyway.

Here is a hard request that I am going to make to you. A high concentration of the pollution in our waterways is due to fertilizer run-off that we use on our lawns. Now don’t go crazy, but use half the amount of Scott’s LawnMaster IV or find a natural option at the garden center this weekend.

Doing your part can be as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room.
