Ten Best Eco-Neighborhoods
Stumble it!
Our friends over at Natural Home magazine have published a very good list of their “Ten Best Eco-Neighborhoods” across the US. We really enjoyed it and thought you would too.
To describe their approach they write, “Our picks for the nation’s best green housing developments emphasize communities working toward sustainability by incorporating green building, energy efficiency and reuse of previously developed land.”
Here’s a hint: Austin is in and San Francisco is not!

Unfortunately, the project in Austin that is cited as the green project may not be everything its cracked up to be in print. The mixed use is a great idea so that people can walk to where they shop- unfortunately they’re all big box stores and so the emphasis is on mega consumption. Also, I’m not picturing a lot of folks walking home from their big box experience as they will have too much big box crap to carry.

You will appreciate this video. The speaker is giving a summary of his experience building homes with recycled material. Pretty cool..http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_phillips_creative_houses_from_reclaimed_stuff.html
