You have my support for trying to reduce energy costs. There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of people are using more hot water and heat just because everyone shares in the billing...........What would happen if electricity bills were to be shared too? Lights would never go out, T.V.s would never shut off, etc. There's no motivation to conserve energy if "somebody else" will pay for it anyways.
The green parking lots look cool to. If they're cost effective and maintainable, I think it'll be a good idea. Pavement looks ugly and needs to be patched too often.
--From A Parkside Place Home Owner
Dear Parkside Place Home Owner - Did you know those homes that are furthest away from the hot water 'source' have to run their hot water taps for several minutes before they get hot water? I just found that out yesterday. Can you imagine how much water is being wasted? I can't even begin to calculate.
This issue can be fixed with a simple plumbing solution. A solution that will cost money, not allot mind you, and the return on that investment would be seen fairly quickly, not to mention increase the homeowners comfort 10 fold!
Who is paying...I've heard that people feel its 'free' because it is included in their fees. We need to stress to folks that they are paying, and will continue to pay more and more. It is coming out of their pocket, yours and mine, through our fees.
It is a education process to be sure, and it will take time and we will all have to be patient with each other. I'm certain we can get there!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

I received a notice in my mail that our parking lot that requires fixing due to the recent construction will be paved with the traditional topping, asphalt, next week.
It is very unfortunate that we cannot consider an alternate.
This is a question for the upcoming AGM.
(Monday May 12 6:30pm Ramada Inn Gorge Rd.)
Lets have a hard look at these alternatives, that is the path to sustainability.
(Received an answer, the lot had to be completed quickly. Chevron is doing the work and there wasn't enough time to consider an alternate.)
Non-Traditional
