Lessons on Environmental Legacy by Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of environmental considerations in real estate development for future generations.

South Florida is blessed with a beautiful environment; from beaches, to the Everglades, the wildlife and tropical foliage all contribute to an amazing quality of life. In Miami we have UDB to protect the Everglades, which in turn protects the Biscayne Aquifer. The importance of considering the environment in our developments and buildings is important to maintaining a quality of life and place that is worthy of leaving to our grandchildren and theirs and theirs. "Real estate is not just a transaction. For an owner it is stewardship. It is durability. It is thinking about today for what the building will need tomorrow." DeLeah Becker
