2. As the chairman and CEO of the Texas based company
Western Rim Properties Marcus Hiles has a
considerable influence on social and environment
issues. With this in mind Marcus has realised that the
plight of the environment and the worlds trend
towards 4 degrees of global warming is a serious threat
to the planet and its population. In his role as a
property developer he can also play a crucial role in
doing his bit for the planet by planting trees and help
the planet at a local level as well as an international
level.

3. Hundreds of acres of parkland and green spaces
in the suburbs of Houston, Austin and San
Antonio in Texas have been created thanks to
Marcus. Planting trees obviously has an
aesthetic advantage although it has a more
critical role in helping his business community
and that of the wider community.

4. Marcus D Hiles`Environmental causes have
donated parks, lakes, streams and green spaces
which are estimates to be worth four million
dollars. This giving of rehabilitated land has
surely helped the local community and helps the
broader Texas community to reap the benefits of
the land.

5. Marcus`companies are proud of the fact that
they plant trees at a rate far greater than any
government department in the States. Hiles
explains “Trees improve air quality, lower
greenhouse emissions and air pollution. They
also store and sequester carbon dioxide”.

6. This is because when trees are planted close to
buildings they help to provide shading and therefore
reduce the need for air conditioning units and
therefore they assist to reduce the amount of
electricity that is needed in the office environment.
This is a serious issue is Texas, a state that enjoys a very
high amount of sunlight for the majority of the year.
Which means that companies operating in that area
need to pay on average higher electricity bills than
those situated in the Northern States.
