Some not so obvious ways to go green

December 15, 2011 Leave a comment

Going green has never been more popular than it is now.  Whether or not you choose to adopt a more green lifestyle, there are certainly realistic ways each person can live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle that complements their daily life.

Yes, there are the obvious, stopping the wasteful use of paper, recycling etc., but what about some not so obvious yet easy ways to go green? Here are a few ideas:

  • Start your morning with a USDA approved organic coffee which is grown using more sustainable methods.
  • If you don’t brew at home, bring your reusable mug to your local coffee shop. Not only will you possibly get a price break, your coffee will stay warm longer.
  • Turn off all the electronics you are not using in your home. Actually, this one is double the goodness because as I seen on Oprah, you can drastically cut your electric bill!
  • Recycle your electronics. Did you know it’s illegal to dump your electronics? They add nasty chemicals and heavy metals to the environment. I know, it’s so much easier to throw that busted keyboard in the trash but, many stores you go to have some sort of free electronic recycling box, especially electronic stores.
  • Stop tending to your lawn. Well, just don’t tend to it as much. Why? Because if your grass is a little longer, it absorbs more sunlight which makes it greener. It also makes the roots stronger which requires less watering.
  • Slow down. According to goodhousekeeping.com, driving above 60 MPH is like adding .50 cents to every gallon of gas, who knew! Guess who’s moving over to the slow lane…
  • Store your paperwork in a cloud based document management system such as eSignDashboard. By doing this, not only can you access the documents you need anywhere, you’re saving time you would not have had if you were shuffling though loads of paperwork.

The cost of running away from technology

As a recent attendee of the NAR conference I saw first-hand both the excitement and reluctance people had at the thought of using electronic signatures. Many were so excited that they wanted to get started right away, while others reacted with fear of using a technology they know nothing about. Fear, is derived from the feeling of unfamiliarity. So, how can those agents and other users alike warm up to the idea of using technology that may have not been possible when they first got started in their careers?

Each individual needs to become comfortable with any technology at their own pace. Many people were reluctant to use desktop computers when they first came out but over time, one must adapt or perish, the same is also true in any industry. Growth only comes from re-defining and adapting to those changes.

The cost of adopting new technology may just pay off

According to ActiveRain.com, rich real estate agents spend more on technology than “poor” real estate agents do. In fact, they spend the same amount on technology in one month that a “poor” agent spends in one year.

 That makes me wonder, why is that? Why is it that we tend to think that by holding back we are saving ourselves money? Or, that we are handling our workload with perfection when we haven’t bothered to try and evolve in our industry? Meanwhile, John Doe is making a fortune just because he’s “rich” and can afford all of those extra tools. I beg to differ, the reason Mr. Doe seems to be floating right along on a pile of cash is because he took the time to maximize his profits and time by adopting tools and technology to aid him in his business.

 I’m sure you’ve heard the saying , “you have to spend money to make money” , and nothing says that more than the this scenario. Going paperless isn’t just about getting the cool new gadgets or tools, it’s about increasing productivity, decreasing the time it takes to complete a deal and ultimately saving money.
