Welcome to the Green issue of Barbados Property News! It’s spring  in the Northern Hemisphere and the time when the earth comes alive and there are 40 shades of green everywhere. In Barbados we enjoy cool breezes and spring tides at the beach but we are so lucky on this beautiful tropical island, we are green all year round! BUT we need to be greener folks. And this edition of BPN is dedicated to that.

Thank you so much the government of Barbados and the Sanitation Services Authority for the wheely bins and the blue bins. Are we going to get to the stage where there is a recycle garbage pick up every few weeks for all? At the moment people have to go and take it to specific locations. Obviously everyone is not able to do this. This needs to be addressed urgently in order to take recycling seriously.

In this edition we look at ways to generate and use clean energy – how we heat our water, generate electricity, what we drive, how we need to build for the future. The world is changing and we, on a small island, must embrace and go forward with the changes.

And The Real Estate market is coming alive! Lots to buy and rent. Agents report that interest is brisk and sales rising.  So enjoy the many choices in this edition. Remember, we are on line www.barbadospropertynews.com and on social media.
