Be Inspired to Live Green<br />

Thinking green is a relatively recent and certainly<br />

welcomed trend. But for <strong>Minto</strong>, environmental<br />

stewardship has always been part of our mandate.<br />

As far back as <strong>the</strong> 1970’s, we were leading <strong>the</strong><br />

way with energy-wise homes. Our commitment<br />

to “thinking green and living greener” propelled<br />

us to be <strong>the</strong> fi rst large scale developer to off er<br />

R-2000 standards to new home buyers.<br />

Fueled by our determination to fi nd a better<br />

way, we have made huge strides in reducing our<br />

impact on <strong>the</strong> environment. In <strong>the</strong> 1990’s, we took <strong>the</strong> bold move of retrofi tting<br />

building systems in our older residential high rise buildings to measurably<br />

improve energy effi ciency and water conservation. Our ‘green’ approach continuously<br />

proves that proactive eco-inspired initiatives benefi t our customers<br />

while lessening our environmental footprint.<br />

Creating healthy, sustainable communities begins with <strong>Minto</strong>, but <strong>the</strong> most<br />

signifi cant impact can <strong>the</strong>n be made by <strong>the</strong> people living in our communities.<br />

In this section, we have provided you with several resources to learn more<br />

about <strong>the</strong> green features built into your <strong>Minto</strong> home, and how you can live<br />

greener every day.<br />
