Virginia Real Estate Blog: Do you have to be OLD to be GREEN?

Do you have to be OLD to be GREEN?

I was just reading a recent USA Today article. The author was quoting a number of sources but one in particular was a survey:

Shea Homes and Harris Interactive recently polled Baby Boomers ages 45 to 62 about their interest in the environment:

• 81% are concerned about the environmental legacy they will leave for their grandchildren.Solar Panels

• 94% have taken steps in the past six months to go green.

• 79% want to do more to reduce their carbon footprint.

• 36% say a green home saves money, 27% say it improves health, and 25% say a home built from green products and technologies is the smartest green investment, second only to a hybrid car or other alternative-fuel vehicle.

 

So the question remains... DO YOU HAVE TO BE OLD to Be GREEN??

Heck no. I think people of all ages are adapting green practices.
