Celebrating Earth Day with Fairfield’s Living Green® Residents’ Guide

At Fairfield, sustainability isn’t just a once-a-year conversation; it’s a year-round commitment. As we celebrate Earth Day 2025, we’re proud to highlight an exciting step forward in our environmental efforts: the brand new Living Green® Residents’ Guide, which offers practical tips for residents to incorporate into their daily lives.

Living Green® Residents’ Guide

The new Living Green® Residents’ Guide offers clear and actionable steps designed to help our residents prioritize sustainability and act in meaningful ways. It includes easy-to-follow tips for conserving water and energy, reducing waste, and minimizing everyday environmental impact from the comfort of their own home. From using LED lighting and ENERGY STAR® appliances to optimizing laundry routines and reporting water leaks promptly, the guide is full of impactful yet straightforward tips. It also encourages mindful resource use, like ditching single-use plastics, donating unused items, and choosing reusable containers over disposable packaging. Detailed waste-sorting instructions help residents properly compost, recycle, or dispose of materials, including guidance on disposing of hazardous items like batteries and other electronic waste.

With easy ideas for every room—from the kitchen to the laundry area—and reminders to reduce “purchase miles” by buying local goods, the new Living Green® guide empowers residents to collectively contribute to a greener, healthier community.

A Win for Communities

The new guide is more than just a checklist. It’s a reflection of Fairfield’s long-term commitment to creating communities where residents can live eco-consciously, and is part of Fairfield’s larger, newly revamped Living Green® program. With this program, we aim to create earth-friendly practices at our communities nationwide that make it easy for residents to contribute to sustainability without having to make a special effort. By making sustainability more approachable and actionable, Living Green® empowers residents and on-site community teams to take ownership of their environmental footprint in everyday ways. These changes don’t just benefit the planet; they can also lead to healthier homes, lower utility bills, and a stronger sense of connection to the community.

Making Everyday Earth Day

Earth Day is the perfect moment to reflect on the power of our daily choices, and Living Green® and the all-new Residents’ Guide make it easy to turn that reflection into action. Each small step adds up, and when embraced across a community, those efforts help create lasting, positive change. We can all take steps toward a more sustainable life today by incorporating just one or two new habits—creating a greener future for our homes, our neighborhoods, and the planet we all share.
