GlobeSt.com: What prompted you to launch GreenRenter?

Neild: Our founding team is socially conscious. We're just young enough to remember what a hassle renting can be and just old enough to have professional commercial leasing and residential property ownership experience. The core mission of the website is simple. GreenRenter will inspire renters and owners to go green. We'll make it easy for renters to find and evaluate green properties. We will help owners learn new strategies for sustainability and showcase their efforts.

We have a larger mission too. For us, green building at its best means creating healthy communities. Business owners know that healthy workplaces produce happier employees with lower absentee rates. With climate change, poverty and environmental degradation, we believe the positive trend to live and work in healthy communities will continue to grow out of necessity.
