Sustainable Me

Sustainable Me: Green Tips and Terms for the Environmentally Conscious. In March of 2008 PointsWestGroup.com merged a passion for the sustainable lifestyle and the former real estate web site re-opened as YourEcoTeam.com with seven pages to assist clients in "greening" both their homes and lifestyles. As a Realtor-"Eco-Broker" with value-added green pages on my web site my goal was to help clients make sustainable choices when purchasing or marketing a home. In recent months, my site has become YellowPagesForGreenStuff.com and has a mission of helping visitors to make economically sound, energy saving, and environmentally sustainable choices in their lives. To use a natural analogy, first the hobby web site, the "worm," then the expanded "Yellow Pages" type format (cocoon), and in the future you will see the www.EarthKnot.org (butterfly) emerge as a searchable, socially interactive site. The traffic on the site has dramatically increased from March 2008 to the present with over 1,500,000 hits in the past two years. In addition to increased traffic, there are now over 40 pages with thousands of links to green. Meanwhile, a new book, "Sustainable Me: Green Tips and Terms for the Environmentally Conscious" is being published as in print and digitally to encourage and guide readers to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
