We make all our properties carbon neutral...

We are hugely supportive of reducing the effect of Carbon Emissions. But do you know what your carbon footprint is and why it's important to help reduce the effects of Global Warming? Well our friends at Global Trees have a nifty Carbon Footprint Calculator and offer advice on how to be that little bit greener in doing your bit to help our environment. 

We make all our properties carbon neutral
Emissions from properties (mainly Gas and Electricity) account for 52% of global warming. When you rent your property with Grant Property we will ensure that we make it carbon neutral by planting trees for every one of our properties. Why? Because trees act as lungs of the world... 


Here are a few facts that we have taken from Global Trees to highlight the importance of going green.

Why is this important?
Emissions of carbon dioxide from cars, power stations, etc, increase the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere and melting the polar ice-caps and potentially leading to catastrophic rising of sea levels and changes to the eco-systems on which we all depend

Global Warming is the biggest lasting issue facing us and those who come after us. Almost all scientists and all governments now agree that immediate action is needed to reduce carbon emissions. However, there is little advice in simple English available about what you can do to reduce carbon emissions. Worse, it appears that many people think that only governments and big organisations can do anything.

What can be done?
Everyone can reduce the effect of their carbon emissions (their ‘carbon footprint’).
Everyone can help plant trees! Trees are a key way of taking carbon from the air and trapping it where it can’t harm the planet. They can also help prevent soil erosion: one analysis of global soil erosion estimates that, depending on the region, topsoil is currently being lost 16 to 300 times faster than it can be replaced.

Dundee University voted best student experience in the UK

It looks like The University of Dundee is taking what their student have to say seriously. A recent student survey was carried out across the UK to determine the university for best experience for student life and Dundee came on top! Dundee ranked 5th last year so well done on the marked improvement.

According to the article, student expectations are rising in line with the increase in tuition fees this autumn, putting pressure on universities both to compete for students and to ensure that they are not disappointed with their experience once they arrive. Do you agree with this? 

Check out the full article HERE.
 

Do you think your University should be up there? What's the best thing about your university? We'd like to here your thoughts.

What charity would you like to see us support?

Every Friday at Grant Property we dress down for charity. We spend Monday to Thursday dressed in our formal work wear, so by the time Friday comes we look forward to coming to work in a more casual attire. We also like to make a little bit of a fuss of the day as we always donate £1 each to a chosen charity.

This has been a regular occurrence for some time now but only recently have we decided to mix things up a little by wearing the colour of the chosen charity. Last week we all dressed down in our casual clothes and we all made the effort to wear yellow to help show a little bit more support for that week's charity, The Irish Cancer Society.

The photo below is of some of us wearing yellow last week for The Irish Cancer Society.

Each week we choose a different charity to support, however, we thought it would be a good idea to ask you guys who you would like to see us support for Dress Down Day Friday and in turn what colour you would like us to wear to show our added support.


Which charity would you like us to support in our Dress Down Day Fridays? 

Let us know the name of you suggested charity and the colour that you think we should wear by:

• Posting on our Facebook page
• Sending us a Tweet @GrantProperty 

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter also.

COMPETITION: Win £20 of Papa Joe's Vouchers

Construction of the Forth Replacement Crossing, as it is currently known, began in 2011 and is due to be completed in 2016.

The responsibility to vote for the name of the new Forth crossing has been given to the public. The Government plans to appoint a panel of independent advisors to undertake a consultation on potential names. They will consider all possible suggestions before producing a shortlist of the most appropriate that can be put to a public vote.

We can only wonder what the public will vote the name to be! If it was up to you, what name would you give the new crossing?


Competition!
We are giving away £20 vouchers to Papa Joe's restaurant for the best suggestion of what the name of the new Forth Crossing should be. Simply go to our Facebook page and leave a comment on our page and we will pick the winner on the 30th March 2012.

For more info on the naming of the crossing click here to view a recent BBC article.
