The EcoBrokers of Harry Norman Realtors celebrated Earth Day last month with an EcoTour of Homes, spotlighting two Buckhead homes in the Haynes Manor neighborhood that are as green as they are grand.
Barbara Marxer served as EcoTour steering committee co-chair. Members included Janey Lowe, Mary Stuart Iverson, Fluffy McDuffie, Beatrice Garner, Irene Bagiatis, and Carson Mathews.
Guests heard from Bill Harrison and Rick Hatch of Harrison Design Associates and eco-friendly interior designer Jillian Pritchard Cooke.
Tour proceeds benefited North Atlanta High School’s Earth Club, which supports hands-on environmental projects for youth.
Homes toured were EcoManor, owned by Laura and Rutherford Seydel, and the Peachtree Battle home of Paul and Monica Hagedorn. Both feature numerous eco-friendly innovations including solar design, geo-thermal HVAC systems, energy efficient appliances, and innovative water recycling programs.
