We are doing our bit for the environment!
We feel strongly about our environment and the qualtity and appearance of our properties and as such have set our goals to attain;
- the banning of all "old fashioned, energy sapping globes" in our residences.
- the replacement of these globes with CFL's (compact flourescent lamps).
- installation of geyser timers to reduce the "on time" of these appliances. Insulation blankets are also being fitted.
- the planting of a tree for every tenant that we house, ultimately trying to aim for a zero carbon footprint.
- the reduction of office printing and faxing, aiming for a paperless environment.
Future goals and research include;
- the capturing of rainwater in storage tanks for domestic use.
- grey water recycling into our gardens.
- Solar power
- Categorized garbage recycling
- Natural gas manufacturing derived from household garbage recycling.
- Better property insulation methods.
- Pre-paid electricity meters.
