Sustainable Community Development Projects?

Question

Sustainable Community Development Projects?

Answer 1

Not quite sure exactly what you are after - whether you are looking for examples of sustainable communities or ways of making communities more sustainable - I'll try to find a couple of examples of each so you're covered.

Examples of communities that are sustainable, or which have a sustainable mandate are:

Craik, Saskatchewan - http://www.craikecovillage.ca/

John T Lyle Center for regenerative studies, California, -  -http://www.csupomona.edu/~crs/

and the Findhorn Foundation in the UK - http://www.findhorn.org/

You can find more by typing 'ecovillage' into your search engine.

For projects to make your community more sustainable, it depends where you live. Most major cities have groups and projects established to help people learn about and adopt sustainable living habits. For example, Toronto has http://torontogreen.ca/ and many other cities will have something similar.

There are green living kits online, that you can view. For example, the EPA has http://www.epa.gov/greenkit/index.htm

and the Green communities initiative has http://www.planning.org/yourcommunity/gr...

Other good links to view are: http://www.sustainable.org/

http://www.naturalstep.ca/scp/cep.html , http://www.groundwork.org.uk/ and http://www.ec.gc.ca/education/default.as...

Anyway, I hope I've answered your question. Thanks
