Everyone’s going green... don’t get left behind!

G

oing green is no longer a fad for tree-hugging hippies or a fashion statement among companies
with large media budgets. It is an absolute imperative for success and survival in a new economic
and social milieu, which has irrevocably changed the way we live, work and play - not unlike the
advent of electricity or the introduction of computers or the Internet. And if you’re not going green, you’re
running a significant risk of being left behind: as an individual, as a family, as a company and as a nation. And
in few industries is going green as important as it is in the property industry.
