Reducing our impact on the Earth by improving our homes,
our yards and our neighborhood.
Many of us have put hours of labor and sometimes substantial funds into reducing waste and consumption while improving the quality and appearance of our Village. We live in an urban area…an area that is not always “pretty”…it might not be where you expect to find a group of people building a straw-bale house, developing edible forest gardens or wildcrafting…but responsible ecology can happen anywhere. In a neighborhood like ours the focus is on improving existant homes & yards rather than new-building…so salvaging, re-purposing, rehabbing…check out one family’s “Urban Homesteading” plan in this really informative slideshow…
