Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, Town Center chose the slogan “Go Green - Save Green”Finding ways not only to save the earth, but also money, the Town Center team reduced concessions the entire month of April, to provide free ceiling fans or CFL bulbs with with each new rental. Existing residents were also encouraged to save green by installing CFL bulbs and ceiling fans.
In addition, we invited residents to share their “Go Green, Save Green” stories. The following are our first eco friendly steps to saving green all year long!
Town Center also made several easy earth-friendly changes.
- Installed CFL bulbs and programmable thermostats in our models.
- Reduced use of paper, cost of toner/printer ink, and human resources spent gathering discarded door hangers, by replacing our monthly newsletter with our online blog.
- Using vinegar and water instead of non-natural cleaning solutions.
- Using cloth reusable cleaning towels instead of paper towels.
- Adjusting the thermostats in our office and models by 1°. http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/tip-2-turn-your-thermostat-down-3-degrees/
- Posting a link (live by May 1) to an online “resident's handbook” on our website where residents will be able to access community policies, answers to FAQ, and all the content formerly printed and provided at lease signing, saving more than 10+ printed pages per lease!
- Auditing and updating email addresses to all residents to encourage online communications via our blog, Town Center Times.
- Supporting a resident organized coupon club to share in money saving shopping tips and tricks.
- Supporting reduce, reuse and recycle by contributing and purchasing items at the Greystar Giving Giant Yard Sale event!
- Posting a link to online coupons provided by partnering with other Chamber of Commerce members.
