Albuquerque, New Mexico Real Estate
New Mexico's green awarenes is growing to such an extent that in the City of Albuquerque, in three consecutive weeks one could participate in green related events that include clean air, green buildings and green-living education by way of workshops.
Last week I attended the clean air summit at which our green advocate mayor was present. This week the New Mexico chapter of the the U. S. Green Building Council is organizing an all day tour of sustainable architecture of commercial buildings, some of wich are seeking Platinum, Gold and Silver LEED certification. The following week, the LEED for Homes workshops will be held at the University of New Mexico. Separately, Green Living Lecture Serisw and Green Central Expo will also be held as part of the University of New Mexico's Continuing Education.
During our recognized period of slower market activities, it is certainly appropriate for real estate prefessionals and others affiliated with the industry to take advantage of opportunities to become as knowledgeable as possible in sustainability and green building practices. There is no doubt, given the current circumstances of climate change, that those cities that embrace green living will be leaders in preserving regional and world-wide quality of life.
