It\u2019s not quite the biggest specimen, and considering that it\u2019s sitting in a depression where the fountain once stood, its stature seems even more diminished. I even thought about taking its photo from a more complementary angle.<\/p>\n<p>But just as I once felt bad for Charlie Brown\u2019s tree, I started feeling bad about my treatment of our own tree. In reality, it\u2019s actually very pretty. And after all, what really matters is the impact, not the size.<\/p>\n<p>That \u201cteenie\u201d tree is doing a big job. Instead of running our fountain for the next six months and burning up countless thousands of watts of energy and gallons of some chemical to keep it all clean, the tree simply stands there in its quiet beauty and makes a statement that little things can have a big effect. With the energy savings, we are also able to drive some of our other green initiatives, thus extending the benefits of that one small tree.<\/p>\n<p>So it goes with our efforts to change culture and attitudes in little ways that will collectively take us farther than we might have first thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Earth Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted by Kevin Doell For Earth Day at the Realogy HQ, our employee environmental committee (dubbed \u201cTask Force Cool\u201d) is doing a bunch of small things that we\u2019re hoping to make a difference with.
