Unique Company Creates a Win-Win For All

Think you’re great at recycling? How providing charitable gifts or donations to the non-profit or school of your choice with your recycled garbage? That’s a win-win isn't it?! Well check out TerraCycle Inc. a highly-awarded, international upcycling (using every aspect of waste as value) and recycling company that collects difficult-to-recycle packaging and products and re-purposes the material into affordable, innovative products. Their mission is to eliminate the idea of waste, and they do this by creating waste collection programs (called Brigades). They provide incentive to receive your waste with free shipping and by awarding TerraCycle points for the waste received which can be redeemed for charitable gifts or a payment of $.01 per point to the non-profit or school of your choice.

 Join a Waste Stream

Creatively they have created a program with over 40 different ‘waste streams’ that can be received. Collecting the waste of choice is called a ‘Brigade’. The waste streams include items such as hummus containers, laptops, inkjet toner cartridges and even cigarette butts. You collect your waste download a shipping label from your account and send the waste to TerraCycle. Your location is credited with the TerraCycle points and then the items are sent to be converted into new products ranging from recycled park benches to upcycled backpacks. The waste items are transformed into new products through a variety of

processes like injection molding. Best of all if you purchase one of these products such as a backpack, when you have worn it out and it is ready to be recycled you can send it back to TerraCycle and get credit for the waste a second time. There are over 250 products to choose from, recycled toilet seats, soap dispensers, garden pavers, you name it!

Collecting Cigarette Butts?

This unique company was founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky then a 20 year old freshman at Princeton

University, and has been written about over hundreds of times by a wide variety of company’s and news organizations.  Most recently TerraCycle played a part of helping a youth in Detroit win an International Young Eco-Hero Award from the San Francisco based non-profit Action for Nature. The youth Brianna Moore started the Green Lifesaver Recycling Foundation to promote recycling. She visits two of her local parks and wearing gloves collects cigarette butts, bottles and other trash. She stuffs the cigarette butts into plastic bags, which her local recycling center doesn't accept, mails them to Terra Cycle. The company recycles them into plastic pallets and other industrial products.

Become a Partner

You can collaborate or partner with TerraCycle by signing up for a Brigade and start to collect a waste stream at home, in your office, or launch a national Brigade program with you company. Or you can use some of their raw materials made 100% from waste to use in manufacturing products that your company produces. Or maybe you are a retailer that would like to sell TerraCycle products. Currently some major retailers like Target, OfficeDepot, Walmart, e-commerce sites and other stores are selling TerraCycle products.

So think twice before you dropping that hummus container into your recycle bin, because you could be fertilizing your garden and helping the non-profit organization of your choice with that cup.

Time For Your Home Inspection

So you’re on your way to buying a new home. You've reached a written purchase agreement with the home seller, so what is next? Your purchase agreement is most likely contingent on a home inspection, which is for your own protection. The purpose of the home inspection is to identify items of concern and safety issues. It is also to give buyers and sellers a better understanding of the home’s condition. An inspection will run about $400.00, however if it turns up an issue you may want to start another round of negotiations for the home. Or perhaps it changes your mind about the property, either way it could be the best $400.00 you ever spend.

The inspection will be performed by a trained professional. If you do not have one in mind your real estate agent will be able to recommend one for you. An inspector will look for issues in the home that may not have been visible when you viewed the home.  The general home inspection is based on the observations made on the date of the inspection, and not a prediction of future conditions. The home inspection will not reveal every issue that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the date of the inspection.

An inspection includes:

1.  A thorough visual inspection of the structure inside and out, from foundation, crawl space, to roof.
   
2.  An examination of all major systems both mechanical and electrical. Everything from garage doors to fuse boxes.
3.  Evaluation of hundreds of components.
4. A printed report explaining all significant findings and recommendations.

The home inspection can take 2 to 3 hours. You are not required to be there, but you can if chose to do so. It may be to your advantage to be there so you can ask questions as the inspector reviews any issues they might find. It can also be educational to find out how the inspector determines what to look for. Once you have this knowledge as a home owner you will be able to identify any issues that may develop after you own the home. Do not be alarmed if the inspector finds some issues. No home is in perfect condition. If you are there with the inspector you can ask how serious an issue may be.

Below are some of the components a home inspection includes:

•   Roof
•   Gutters
•  Windows
  
•  Doors
•  Siding
• Trim
•  Grading
•  Driveway & Walkways
•  Decks & Patios
• Fireplaces Ceilings & Walls
• All Plumbing Elements
• All Electrical Elements
•  Foundation
• Framing
• Crawlspace
• Attic
• Hot Water Heater
•  HVAC

Retail Establishments Increasing Property Values

Does the arrival of retail establishments increase property prices within that same area? Of course chic, boutique- and bistro-filled neighborhoods have higher property values than less-vibrant areas. But what about large national retail stores? There is one particular company that has a proven track record of revitalizing neighborhoods and jump starting development:  Whole Foods Market. A Whole Foods Market will open its first store in Savannah on Aug. 13, more than a year ahead of schedule. Atlanta-based developers Knightswood and S.J. Collins Enterprises demolished Backus’ trademark pink buildings on Victory Dr. and several neighboring structures to construct the Victory Station shopping center. Whole Foods is the anchor to the center which will also have a PetSmart , and a handful of small retailers.

Increasing The Value of Property

Whole Foods. Across the country, the healthy food retailer, is widely credited with reinvigorating formally undesirable neighborhoods, creating demand for housing and bringing in customers to adjacent businesses. While most evidence is anecdotal, all accounts indicate that the arrival of a Whole Foods is a sure sign that a neighborhood is about to turn around, or increase the value of the already well established neighborhoods. This “seal of approval” quality is Whole Foods’ Midas touch, potential gentrifiers see it as something tangible that certifies a neighborhood as a quality buy. And not just residents; businesses too, look to Whole Foods as a disciplined pioneer that does its homework.  Its most basic criterion is reportedly 200,000 people, a good portion of them college educated, living within a 20-minute drive. Shortly after the announcement of the arrival of the food retailer, Chick-filet, and a Zaxbys constructed and opened their doors within ½ mile of Whole Foods. Perhaps they heard the food retailer was coming to town.

The Whole Foods Effect

Communities such as East Liberty in Pittsburgh, Logan Circle in Washington, DC and Uptown New Orleans all experienced development booms following the arrival of Whole Foods. The Austin, Texas-based food retailer has made a science of putting down roots in urban locations at what often seems to be just the right moment. The company is so good at the real-estate game that it has spawned a catchphrase, ‘the Whole Foods Effect’. A report in 2007 by a Portland-based firm showed that the presence of a specialty food retailer (i.e. not a typical grocer) increases home prices by anywhere from 6% to 29%. An exhaustive 2007 study by Johnson Reid quantified the effects that individual urban amenities have on home prices. Using hedonic modeling, it found that a specialty grocer will increase surrounding home prices by an average of 17.5 percent, more than bookstores, bike shops or gyms (with the caveat, of course, that this varies greatly depending on the situation — in the instances studied, the increases ranged widely from 6 to 29 percent).

Now Could Be The Time To Buy

View Larger Map

'The Whole Foods Effect' isn't caused by the store itself, it’s caused by the events it sets into motion. And one thing Whole Foods does is stay open later than a lot of the other shops around it, laying the groundwork for expanding the length of that neighborhood’s day. Greg Badishkanian, an analyst with Citigroup who tracks Whole Foods, said in a 2006 NPR story, "When Whole Foods opens up a store in a particular market, all of the real estate in the area gets a nice uplift. It could be a few percent to 10, 15, 20 percent in terms of the real estate value." So if you are an investor or looking to buy a new home, perhaps now is the time to look in Parkside, Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent, or the Victory Heights area. It looks like the home prices in these neighborhoods are going to increase if ‘the Whole Foods effect’ theory holds up.

Savannah GA Architecture

Real Estate brokers and agents often use terms to describe homes we may not be familiar with. Here are some definitions of homes that are prevalent here in Savannah.

Bungalow: A small early twentieth-century-style, usually a relatively small rectangle, one story house with a low rise, large veranda, and a shingled roof.

Cape Cod Colonial: An early – American style 1 ½ story compact house that is small and symmetrical with a central entrance. The roof is the steep gable type covered with shingles. The authentic types have low central chimneys, but end chimneys are very common in the new versions. Bedrooms are on the 1^st floor. The attic may be finished into additional bedrooms and bath in the new versions.

Federal Style Home:  Federal style was the first truly American form of architecture. The style was the balanced and symmetrical version of Georgian architecture that had been practiced in the American colonies new motifs of Neoclassical architecture.The American federal architecture differs from preceding Georgian colonial interpretations in its use of plainer surfaces with attenuated detail, usually isolated in panels, tablets and friezes. It also had a flatter smoother facade and rarely used pilasters. The Davenport house in downtown Savannah (pictured left) is a also an example of a early Federal Style architecture.

New England Colonial: an early-American-style, 2 ½ story boxlike house that is generally symmetrical, square or rectangular with side or rear wings. The traditional material is narrow clapboard siding. The roof is usually the gable type covered with shingles. Often there are chimneys at each end.

Southern Colonial: A large, early-American-style, 2 or 3 story frame house with characteristic colonnade extending across the front supported by large circular columns. The roof extends over the colonnade.

Colonial Revival: Also Neocolonial, Georgian Revival or Neo-Georgian, this architecture was a nationalistic design movement in the United States. Part of a broader Colonial Revival Movement embracing Georgian and Neoclassical styles. Structures are typically two stories with the ridge pole running parallel to the street, have a symmetrical front facade with an accented doorway, and evenly spaced windows on either side of it. Features borrowed from colonial period houses of the early 19th century include elaborate front doors, often with decorative crown pediments, fanlights, and sidelights, symmetrical windows flanking the front entrance, often in pairs or threes, and columned porches.
