A Day in the Life: Sustainability, Veris Style
At Veris Residential, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a way of life. Imagine a day where every choice you make contributes to a healthier planet, without feeling like you’re sacrificing comfort or convenience. Curious about what that looks like? Let’s dive into a green day in the life of a Veris resident.
Morning Fuel: Conscious Choices
Your alarm goes off, and the first decision of the day is deliciously simple. Reach for a Resist Nutrition Bar for an organic, fiber-packed breakfast snack designed to give you the essential nutrients you need to tackle the day.
Craving caffeine? Sunday Morning Coffee and Masha Tea craft sustainable pick-me-ups with ethically sourced beans and leaves that support sustainable farming practices. Each sip supports farmers committed to sustainable agriculture, proving that great taste and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
The best part: Veris residents have access to special deals with these partners through the myVeris mobile app.
Getting Around: Zero-Emission Mobility
Forget gas-guzzling commutes. Veris communities are strategically located near public transit, with walkable and bikeable neighborhoods. For those who drive, EV charging stations at 65% of our communities make switching to electric a breeze.
Home Base: Green Apartments
Step into a Veris apartment, and sustainability surrounds you. ENERGY STAR-certified appliances? Check. Smart thermostats optimizing your energy use? Absolutely. Low-flow fixtures reducing water waste? You bet.
Lunch Break: Hyperlocal Harvest
Forget the grocery store. Our hydroponic farms and community gardens at select properties offer fresh, zero-mile produce. Weekly distribution means you can literally taste the sustainability. Bonus: Urban beehives mean you might even score some honey produced by bees who live in the same community as you.
Did you know? In 2023, our farms produced over 700 pounds of produce and distributed 4,704 bags to residents. That’s 700 pounds of food that didn’t travel hundreds of miles, didn’t use pesticides, and connected residents directly to their food source.
Evening Extras: Community Impact
Veris isn’t just about individual actions—we’re building a collective green movement. Our “Greendrops” donation stations keep usable items out of landfills. Composting programs turn food waste into garden gold. And those community recycling stations? They’re your ticket to reducing waste.
Living sustainably doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. At Veris, it means living better—for yourself and the planet.
