I live in a 100 year old urbanist mini-neighborhood, Fairview Park, that has begun to evolve as an Eco-village. As a long-term activist in development of local progressive communities, with a emphasis on sustainable choices, I’m excited about this prospect.

Since those of us in the design & construction fields think in unique ways, let’s support one another in applying our skills, tools, and modes of thinking to transform our existing environment, with a goal of lessening our carbon footprint, while at the same time serving the needs of humans and other living organisms, both within the OWA eco-village focus group and in the larger world.
