Streetfilms posted an interesting video today about Los Angeles Eco-Village, where people have come together to enjoy the benefits of sustainable and community living.
"An ecovillage is a human scale neighborhood where people know their neighbors and care about them. People can live close to where they work and play and have access to other essential services without use of automobiles. Together, neighbors try to minimize waste and pollution of all kinds. Residents and friends work together to create a healthy community socially, physically and economically.
Urban ecovillages work with surrounding neighborhoods and the city
at large to bring a whole systems perspective to urban planning and
community development activities. The L.A. Eco-Village Demonstration is
part of an international network of sustainable neighborhood groups
which seek to model healthier ways of living based on environmental
sustainability and social and economic justice."
