The Industrial Revolution and the last 150 years have shown us that our generation is on an unsustainable path. In the last part of the 20th century, we have been experiencing a cultural uprising to clean up the environmental impacts of the world’s progress from the last two centuries.
The notion of green living has been in play for a long time, but the trend of green is far from over. In fact, it has developed into a movement, a new way of living. The time has come where we all must make a difference…as individuals, as families, as communities and most importantly as world citizens.
Due to these trends, we are on the ground floor of a major transformation in the marketplace. Association board members and community management companies have opportunities to positively impact the environment through influencing how common areas are maintained and residents consume resources. Although these groups are not part of an environmental movement per sé, they are highly influential decision makers who can affect how a community impacts the environment.
