					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Sustainability. It&#8217;s one of those buzz words that seems to be mentioned in every conversation
&nbsp;regarding energy and the environment. But what does it really mean? And how
&nbsp;does it apply to you and to your community association?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;It seems that nearly everything is going &ldquo;green&rdquo; these days. Whether it&rsquo;s the special green issue of a popular consumer magazine, an advertisement for a
&nbsp;fuel-efficient hybrid car or a push toward environmentally friendly building
&nbsp;materials, the message is clear: green is here to stay. But the idea of green
&nbsp;building is not new&mdash;it&rsquo;s been the primary mission of the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC) since the
&nbsp;organization&rsquo;s founding in 1993.

					  <description><![CDATA[Living in a condominium community means working together. Cooperation and a
&nbsp;spirit of volunteerism are visible every day in community gatherings, board
&nbsp;meetings, even in the scheduling of time on the tennis courts. The men and
&nbsp;women who volunteer their time to work as part of board committees play a large
&nbsp;role in ensuring that the community functions smoothly and as a whole.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;In an era of tight budgets and growing green consciousness, more co-op and condo
&nbsp;communities than ever before are moving toward energy conservation and
&nbsp;sustainable resources. For residential buildings in New Jersey, an
&nbsp;extraordinary number of resources exist for them to make drastic changes to the
&nbsp;way they consume energy, including education, training, networking and even
&nbsp;financial assistance available through a broad network of green organizations
&nbsp;and programs.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Winters these days don&rsquo;t seem to be quite as brutal as they once were, due in part to the fact that in
&nbsp;recent years, the Northeast has had more flooding and ice storms than
&nbsp;blizzards. But pipes still freeze in the dead of night, and winter conditions
&nbsp;still take their toll on New Jersey's HOAs. Carefully-planned landscapes can be
&nbsp;brutalized by winter, with trees and other plantings damaged or killed by the
&nbsp;weather. If not prepared correctly for the cold months, parking lots can become
&nbsp;money-pits, fraught with potential liabilities as the freeze-thaw cycle turns
&nbsp;small cracks and potholes into major problems. Heating and cooling systems can
&nbsp;also be pushed to their limits, breaking just when the mercury hits rock
&nbsp;bottom.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Utility submetering is the implementation of a system that allows a condominium
&nbsp;association or other multi-tenant property to bill tenants for individual
&nbsp;measured utility usage by making use of individual water, gas, or electricity
&nbsp;meters for their relevant utilities.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;CHP (combined heat and power) is a marriage of electric generation and thermal
&nbsp;power&mdash;the use of an engine, usually gas-fueled, to simultaneously generate electricity
&nbsp;and heat. It can be done on a grand scale, as in manufacturing, hospitals and
&nbsp;residential districts&mdash;or less massively, in condominium developments. As successive generations of
&nbsp;systems emerge, CHP has become a leading option for lowering condo expenses.
&nbsp;CHP generators are small&mdash;lean, green, and smart&mdash;but they take a big whack out of energy costs.

					  <title><![CDATA[The Importance of Mosquito Control]]></title>
					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/682/1/The-Importance-of-Mosquito-Control/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The simple mosquito, while small in stature, has been man&rsquo;s most persistent and deadly foe. Millions die from malaria, yellow fever, West Nile virus and other
&nbsp;mosquito-transferred pathogens every year. Why do mosquitoes bite? Unlike ticks and other insects that are exclusive blood feeders, mosquitoes rely
&nbsp;on sugar for energy, obtaining it from plant nectar and juices. Female mosquitoes bite because they need blood to extract all of the proteins
&nbsp;and nutrients to produce fertile eggs. Although non-egg producing male
&nbsp;mosquitoes don&rsquo;t bite, the female mosquito population is more than enough to cause extensive
&nbsp;human pain and suffering.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;In recent years, being green has become more than just a trendy buzzword&mdash;for many Garden State HOAs, it&rsquo;s now a way of life. More and more communities are adopting and implementing
&nbsp;environmentally-sensitive policies, and intentionally using more eco-friendly
&nbsp;products.
