Eco-Friendly Washington Active Adult Retirement Communities

Are you an active adult concerned about future generations and looking to leave this earth with as little a carbon footprint as possible? If you are in or close to retirement you may want to consider living in a Washington active adult retirement community located in Lacey. Why Lacey? Lacey is taking strides to being an eco-friendly community.

Lacey is an official “Green Power Community” which means that it has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency for its use of renewable energy. Five percent of the city’s total energy use comes from green power sources. And, the city is on a quest to use 100 percent green electrical energy in all of its municipal buildings, parks, utilities, including 3,000 streetlights and traffic signals. When it comes to city vehicles, there are plans to convert the municipal fleet to energy efficient vehicles powered by electricity, hybrid technology, and 80/20 biofuel and provide electric vehicle charging stations to visitors and employees at its city hall and library campus.

Not only is the city looking to make positive contributions to our earth, some brand new homes in Washington active adult retirement communities in the area are also helping reduce your home’s carbon footprint by up to thirty percent with satellite-controlled sprinkler systems, recycled insulation, wood from sustainable forests and water-conserving appliances.

Something else to know about Lacey – for eighteen years it has received the "Tree City, USA" designation from the National Arbor Day Foundation. As a resident of an active adult retirement community in Washington here there is a really good chance that you’ll be surrounded by trees whether you are at the community clubhouse, on the greens of a championship golf course or walking a trail to the Puget Sound. And, as we know, trees are good for Mother Earth.
