Passage
1
Sustainable
communities
According to the
, people are currently using resources 25 per
cent faster than they can be replaced.
If we continue down this
course, we
will need a second planet by the year 2050.
Sustainable communities attempt to
change that course by
drastically
altering how citizens interact with the
environment.
Alternatively
known as green communities or eco-villages,
sustainable communities vary in their
approaches to sustainable
living, or a
way of life that meets the
’
s basic needs in ways
that can be continued indefinitely for
future generations. Some
communities
focus solely on enriching the environment, while
others also aim to improve social and
economic conditions as
well.
Characteristics of sustainable living
communities
Sustainable
communities generally strive to minimize waste,
reduce consumption and preserve open
space. Ideally, they
don
’
t use
resources faster than they can be replenished, and
they don
’
t
produce waste faster than it can be assimilated
back into the
environment. Granted, some communities are more
radical than others
—
living entirely and
avoiding the use of
government-printed
money
—
but the basic
principles are
similar.
Designing the neighbourhood
to encourage walking or bicycling
is
one way sustainable communities put these first
two
principles into practice. Less
driving means less and reduced
emissions. Many eco-villages also
incorporate work space into
homes or
encourage . They also might zone part of the
development for commercial use,
essentially making the
community a
self-contained environment where residents
don
’
t
even have
to leave for shopping or entertainment. This
design
sometimes is called a live-work-
play lifestyle.
Using techniques is another staple of
sustainable communities.
Here are a few
examples:
Architects design buildings to take
advantage of the
’
s
lighting and heating capabilities.
They install .
They try to use
as much as possible to cut back on the
environmental costs of transport.
