Columbus Greenspot

Posted to Phil Giessler

We, at Cam Taylor Co., Realtors are very close to committing to join the recently formed www.columbusgreenspot.org. This organization, developed by Mayor Michael Coleman, Columbus, OH. www.cityofcolumbus.org is aimed at households, business organizations and community groups. The website offers suggestions on going green from water consumption to recycling pop cans and water bottles in the office. For example, the average person uses 120 gallons of water per day! Electronics left on save mode use up 5% of electronic usage per year! The average person throws away 350 grocery bags per year!

At Cam Taylor Co., we have done our best to be good “green” people for a long time. We re-use the blank side of non-confidential papers for individual use in the copy machine. We collect, crush and take to recycling spots our pop containers. We search for companies to use for our recycled goods, i.e. cardboard. We use a water cooler rather than bottled water in the gallon containers. We also are prompting our employees and agents to remain healthy so we do admit to purchasing small water bottles, a no-no in staying green, but a good thing in human water consumption. Columbus, OH. and our Mayor Coleman care about the environment. We do too. Visit www.columbusgreenspot.org for ideas you might use and contact www.camtaylor.com for all your real estate needs!

My Trip to Sanibel, Florida

Posted to Phil Giessler

I recently returned from Sanibel, Florida where I spent one week with my family. The weather in Florida the week after Easter was perfect. We had blue skies, pretty sunrises and sunsets and fun galore. The shopping at Jerry’s Market was great, as usual. We always stop for our groceries while spending time conversing with the caged parrots, Jerry, GW, and many other talking birds. Whether walking on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico or swimming in the warm pool, each day was better than the one before. Then reality hit and we had to return home. But, I must say, it is always great to return to Ohio. We have the same beautiful sunrises and sunsets and great food and fun. One does not need to leave home to enjoy vacation time. In fact, leaving home can become stressful. First, standing in line for check in while others do their best to push forward or jump ahead. Next, shoeless, going through the line while being examined as if you might be hiding something and then being told the contact lens solution bottle is too big to take on board. Then, arriving in a busy airport to grab your bags off the fast moving carousel to rush on to get in line for the rental car. Then, doing your best not to say anything to the man who cuts in front because he has a “special card” to get him to the front of the line to get his special car.

Finally, finding the condominium before the office closes to get the key to your room. One might have more relaxation at home, in Ohio, reading, attending movies, resting, sight-seeing, visiting the zoo or a multitude of many things to do. I suggest everyone read Step Back from the Baggage Claim by Jason Barger. Good motivational reading which suggests that we all slow down, step back and take a look at how we treat each other. Just one small step might make a difference. Meanwhile, if you do travel and choose to move to a new location, contact us at www.camtaylor.com!
