Who We Are And Why We're Here

You may be asking yourself, “So what is this NOVA Green Team and NOVA Green Living stuff all about, anyway?”
We’re glad you asked!
Let’s start off by telling you what we’re not about.
The NOVA Green Team isn’t about any sort of political ideology or about pushing an agenda. We’re not trying to tell you how to live or what to think.
What we are trying to do is provide you with the information and resources you need to make eco-friendly choices that suit your lifestyle (and your pocketbook).
That’s part of the purpose of this blog; helping you to find ways to go green without having to make radical changes to the way you live.
So why go green in the first place?
No matter where you stand on environmental issues, we at the NOVA Green Team think we can all agree that when we use energy-efficient appliances, sustainable and renewable building materials, and products that aren’t full of toxic materials or that don’t create toxic byproducts, we’re all better off, both in our personal environments and in the world at large.
And if we can do all of those things while saving money, so much the better!
Beyond the larger and, frankly, abstract advantages of using energy-efficient appliances, for example, there is the more concrete advantage of lowering your annual energy expenses. As stated here, the average household spends $1,300 to $1,900 every year on energy costs. Using Energy Star appliances can reduce those costs by 30 percent on average.
Okay, so maybe you’re convinced that going green just might be worthwhile, but now you’re wondering how NOVA Green Team and the NOVA Green Living blog figure into it.
Well, that’s actually where you come in. Our goal is to be the number one resource for Northern Virginia’s green information needs, and we need you to let us know what they are so we can do just that.
What are your concerns? What are your questions? What kind of content do you want to see?
We have some ideas, and we’ll be providing content that we think will be useful and important, like some of the links to articles and sites that have already been posted, but we want to hear from you.
Feel free to contact us at info@novagreenteam.com with any questions, requests, or tips, or leave a note for us in the Comments.
Beyond simply being a useful resource, though, we want to create a lively and engaged community whose members share tips, requests, questions, answers, and other information with each other.
So jump into the Comments! Post videos, discussion topics, and messages on our Facebook page!
And most importantly, keep checking back here for all of your green real estate needs.
As we grow – together – we’ll be adding regular features to this blog, such as monthly contests (Who doesn’t like winning free stuff?), and other fun, informative, and interactive features.
