This finding challenges homeowners everywhere to go green. To offset the impact of their houses, some homeowners are recycling their trash and reducing their electricity consumption. However, others who think long-term are moving to green communities, as bannered by Treveia - a sprawling green community in the South.

The Future is Pro-Nature

"Treveia is our most ambitious and most eco-friendly project to date," says Jennylle Tupaz, Division Manager for Project Development of Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company. "Treveia amplifies individual efforts to go green by integrating environmental conservation to everyday community life."

According to Tupaz, Treveia's masterplan features energy-efficient and water-conserving facilities. The cutting-edge technologies ensure residents consume less resources and help families minimize their impact to the environment. Double tree-lined roadways, including bike and pedestrian paths, also encourage alternative means of transportation that lower fuel usage and carbon emissions. The roads even have a semi-porous pavement that allows rainwater to replenish underground reservoirs.

The New ECOmmunity

 "Treveia avoids the trap of being green for green's sake," adds Tupaz. "Families need modern conveniences, too, so we made sure that green principles went hand-in-hand with urban comfort. The result is an enjoyable, eco-friendly lifestyle for Treveia residents."

The development holds a wealth of venues for family and community bonding. It has a 2.5-hectare Central Park that features a Grand Clubhouse and a multi-purpose open field for group activities. Further strengthening community interactions are Treveia's four themed parks that represent different elements of nature: The Rain Garden Park for water, The Woodland Park for wood, The Hillock Park for earth, and The Wind Chime Park for wind. Moreover, these do not only serve recreational purposes, but educate residents as well.

Signages are also put up in the parks as reminders for reducing waste. These mnemonic devices support the choice of residents to live a more responsible coexistence with nature. All these help Treveia meet the sustainable ideals of the future.

"Going green doesn't have to be a duty that environmental advocates can live by.  In Treveia, Filipino families can secure an eco-friendly, convenient home life that's attuned to their needs," ends Tupaz.
