Earth Day Part II: Modern Movement

Earth Day Celebrates an Important Anniversary

Last week, our blog post detailed the history of the Earth Day Movement.  Tomorrow, Earth Day celebrates an important anniversary- the 45th year since the movement began in 1970.

What can you do to celebrate Earth Day in 2015?

The Earth Day Network, the organization that created and continues to promote Earth Day, spearheads the "A Billion Acts of Green," an international movement dedicated to securing a sustainable future.  In order to join the movement, you can take action (an "act of green") on the Earth Day website by signing The Climate Petition, supporting Environmental Education, reducing daily Energy Consumption, or submitting an original art piece to "Footing the Bill: Art and our Ecological Footprint."  So far, the Earth Day Network has received 1,123,953,067 acts of green.

Grady's Green Initiatives

Did you know that Grady Management celebrates our 50th anniversary this month?

As a company, there are many ways we promote green initiatives in the apartment communities we manage.  In fact, Grady Management has been a leader in energy conservation technology since 1971.

Some ways we promote green living include:

• Our Utilities and Energy Conservation Administrator, David Farmer, constantly monitors community consumption of electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and water to ensure we conserve these resources and that we manage our carbon footprint.


• Our Director of Maintenance, Mark Rasavage trains team members in energy conservation programs and best green practices, tests and selects energy efficient and eco-friendly products.


• We are moving toward energy efficient LED (light emitting diodes) light fixtures, CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs, common area lighting controls, and more efficient HVAC upgrades to help lower utility costs.
