Hastings & Hastings Lauds Arizona's Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

    PHOENIX, AZ, October 27, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Arizona is not only on the cutting edge of innovation, it is one of the states driving innovation forward.

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue within the nation. As California faces a drought of ever increasing severity, other states begin to wonder what would happen if they were faced with similar hardship. Residents of Arizona need to worry about facing the same fate as California. Arizona, with an even dryer climate than California, is well prepared should it ever be struck by a devastating drought.

The Central Arizona Project in conjunction with the Arizona Water Banking Authority, has stored over 3.4 million acre-feet of water underground. This cautious and forward thinking approach to water conservation has Arizona well prepared for possible droughts. Hastings & Hastings is proud to practice in such a well prepared and innovative state. No other state in the nation takes such a measured approach to managing its water source.

Further leading innovation, Arizona ranks second in the nation in terms of total solar energy capacity. Only California currently edges out the Grand Canyon State. This solar capacity is spread out across residential and commercial roofs. It also encompasses massive independent standing solar field projects. Hastings & Hastings understands the value of clean renewable energy and gladly supports Arizona's efforts to remain in the lead as one of the nation's preeminent producers of solar energy.

Hastings & Hastings also acknowledges Arizona's role as a leader in large scale forest management. The Four Forest Restoration Initiative aims at restoring ecosystems within four major national forests along Arizona's iconic Mogollon Rim. The initiative will attempt to foster natural fire patterns, support natural ecosystems, and rebuild damaged forest communities.

Arizona unquestionably stands among the nation's leaders when it comes to innovation in renewable energy, sustainable water, and environmental protection. Hastings & Hastings holds Arizona up as an example for other states. When innovation and sustainability becomes a priority, incredible things can happen. Hastings & Hastings sees, here in Arizona, incredible things truly are happening.
