eco community: Urban Emerald Green-Asheville Style - 12/04/11 02:17 PM
Sustainability. The New Urbanism. Establishing and engaging in green communities.A creative yet traditional approach. If you are a person who find the above phrases intriguing, you may be interested to know how some Asheville NC developers approach these concepts. A number of Asheville’s eco-friendly developers host design charrettes where they, urban planners and architects hold conversations with interested parties. Creative studios, cafes, shops, homes on a “human scale” and on a workforce could well be on the agenda for discussion. Neighborhood participants can let them know a “wish list” at that time…perhaps this will include: Solar hot water, extra insulation, radiant … (2 comments)

Community Connections may be considered going green connections. Whether you live in Asheville or in Anytown those connections can deepen an important sense of belonging.

eco community: Asheville Evenings a Series: Shindig on the Green - 08/01/08 02:35 PM
It was one of those perfect, clear evenings in Asheville. Not a cloud in the sky. Good fortune for the folks arriving at the Shindig on the Green festival. Shindig on the Green is a long-standing tradition here in the Asheville area. The summer series of family-friendly community get-togethers commences "along about sundown." and usually runs until around 10:00 p.m. We got there early.
Even after all these years, LXS could hardly wait to check out the "Jammin Tents" with music-makers warming up for their performances. (see photo) I can almost hear them now, even as I … (8 comments)
eco community: Strong, Caring (and Green) Communities - 07/08/08 08:27 AM
I'm out on the Land today. I'm out on the Land in an Asheville area eco-development we represent. It has open spaces and forest land and waterfalls and climbing cliffs and streams and an heirloom apple orcahrd now producing juicy specimens you'd love to eat...(see photo) oh it is amazing! So here I am, out on the Land, feeling very privileged indeed... and thinking. I'm thinking about a notable quote a real state client/friend here in Asheville sent for my review this morning: "...we need to grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring … (9 comments)
eco community: One Old-timer's Tale: Native American Traditions and the New Sustainability - 05/29/08 01:54 PM
He was standing at the door when I arrived. His smile was disarming. His eyes twinkled when he spoke. He was in town to teach an RLI Class. I'd heard about him and had chatted before, but I really hadn't had a chance to "sit down" for a talk with this Old-timer. A REALTOR® from " way back" when "Sustainable or Eco- Community (in which our Firm specializes) didn't have a name yet, he came to Asheville to teach REALTORS® about The Land. We covered a few questions, then I asked him what he thought about the Native American traditions … (12 comments)

"To live sustainably in this beautiful, peaceful, healthy, sacred place in the magnificent North Carolina mountains is to prosper" . By "prosper" , according to the Free Dictionary, I mean: 1.
