If you are a person who values sustainability, the New Urbanism, and in establishing and engaging in green communities your imagination can take you to places of delight and comfort.
If you are a person who wants a say in how this all comes together…  on a “human scale” and on a workforce budget …

solar: RIFF on a Forestry Report- TOPOGRAPHY : Asheville Eco-Community (series) It's SOLAR! - 04/30/08 08:59 AM
TOPOGRAPHY : Asheville Eco-Community (series # 2)   This is FUN!  
Topography-  I love to read topos, do you? There is mystery and adventure in each one!  I think it's exciting to get a visual of how the LAND lies.
Today, continuing with  musings on the Forestry Report (see RIFF on a Forestry Report-SOILS : Asheville Eco-Community (series)  ) as part of the research we do before listing any acreage, I'm excited. In this case it's because I'm reviewing topos on an amazing eco-development.  
I'm ready to  give some serious thought to the section on Topography in the Forestry Report.
We have previewed and walked the land, of … (16 comments)

solar: Can You Prosper in a Conservation Neighborhood? - 04/26/08 09:07 AM

 "To live sustainably in this beautiful, peaceful, healthy, sacred place in the magnificent North Carolina mountains is to prosper" .

2. To do or fare well...3. To be in a period of highest productivity, excellence, or influence...
And here in the mountains not far from our beloved Asheville, NC, you'll find a conservation neighborhood connected in a special way with the natural world where you can do just that.
It is a sustainable community where neighbors can prosper in a community designed … (13 comments)

solar: YOU Can Create a Green Home Next to a Stream in Asheville - 04/18/08 07:54 PM
Not far from the cultural hub of Asheville, North Carolina yet surrounded by forever-wild mountain forests, soaring cliffs, cascading streams , and stuff of which dreams of Home are made is  the doorway to possibility in the form of an eco-community  that thrives on nature.
I'm heading over the valley and up the mountainside  this weekend to take more photos to show you.
   (How do you like this one?)
I want to see for myself if what I've heard is true....that you can create a green home next to a stream, and walk for miles right out your back door then camp … (3 comments)

solar: This Eco-Community = Eco-Innovation as an Exciting Model. Asheville, NC - 04/13/08 08:16 AM
I am excited about eco-innovation. Especially when eco-innovation in the form of a model for eco-community comes to my home town, Asheville, N.C. 
That's right. Big News.
The very first eco-development  in the country to combine wide-ranging land conservation with an eco-friendly community of solar-heated and solar-powered " green-built"  homes, has done just that.
Here, in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, we are known for green-built homes and for thoughtful land planning. But this eco-community is unique.
 
More than that, I think it is simply exciting.
EXCITING? Here's how:
Not far from the cultural hub of Asheville, North Carolina yet surrounded by forever-wild mountain forests, soaring … (9 comments)
