Integrity Real Estate Services was built on the core principle of sustainability. We value our beautiful earth and we are inspired to learn ways to sustain the land and ourselves through natural sustaining principles. We are excited to represent a way of living that promotes long lasting benefits that will build strong relationships, and improve the land that we live.

According to the EPA, “The average American person will produce about 5.91 lbs <sic> of trash daily”, and based on statistics provided by Eco Watch, “Plastic accounts for around 10 percent of the total waste we generate, and 50% of the plastic we use, we use just once and throw away. It can take up to 400-1000 years to fully decompose.”

Plastic pollution now chokes our oceans and is taking its toll on wildlife. Bloated whales die from tons of plastic in their stomachs, causing maturation and intestinal blockages. Birds are suffocated by plastic rings wrapped around their necks. As these ecosystems are gradually eroded, their resulting disturbances translate into new hazards for other living things dependent on the dying ecosystems in our oceans.

We understand that interest in topics such as these vary by individual. We encourage you to take the challenge with us to Initiate Natural Sustaining Principles In Reclaiming <the> Environment.

Let’s Get Started

Some initial small and natural ways to eliminate plastic from your daily disposal include:

  • Using handmade or store bought produce bags for grocery trips, which eliminates the need for plastic bags. They are light, easy to carry, washable, and reduce unnecessary plastic use.
  • Take the initiative to use compostable or reusable snack bags.
  • Store sets of bamboo flatware and bandanas in your vehicle to replace plastic flatware and paper napkins for dining away from home.
Available for purchase through Earth Hero
  • Bring reusable containers when you dine out. There’s no need to be concerned about how that will look if you use a fashionable (and more discreet) bag designed to carry take-home containers.

Congratulations! Initiating even one of these natural sustaining principles, you will reduce your daily waste and help improve the land that we live!!!
