So, what is
"Eco-friendly"?
  • Planning of lot lines to not cross wooded
    areas
  • Low density development
  • Sensitivity to water-shed areas
  • Protecting existing natural elements
  • Utilization of clean, renewable energy
  • Self contained waste systems
  • Recycling and composting

Many developers choose to ignore this process up
front and attempt to make up for it afterword...a
process that rarely works. Planting a few palm trees
can't make up for the scraping of precious woods.


A few facts you should consider about the
environment, our continuing dependence on fossil
fuels and what you could do right now;

  • Switching from just one of your normal light
bulbs to a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL)
could save nearly a quarter ton of coal over
its lifetime.

  • India's greenhouse-gas emissions could rise
70% by 2025

  • China's total electricity demand will rise and
estimated 2,600 gigawatt's by 2050, which is
the equivalent of adding four 300-megawatt
power plants every week for the next 45 years.

  • India's energy consumption rose 208% from
1980 to 2001, even faster than China's, and
    nearly half the country still lacks regular
    access to electricity

  • Closer to home, the US is home to less than
5% of Earth's population but produces 25% of
the CO2 emissions.

  • The average American is responsible for 20
times as much C02 emission annually as the
average Indian.
