I am excited about eco-innovation. Especially when eco-inn
ovation 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 cliffs and pristine, cascading streams out your back door, this
eco-community thrives on nature.
From the home you create, you can walk for miles, discover ancient treasures and waterfalls, and camp under the stars.

This is a model for eco-innovation. Where else, for example, could you find renewable energy from wind power, hydropower, and geothermal sources, combining to offer a true net-zero-energy community, creating more renewable energy than it uses?
You get to participate in the excitement-designing an eco-community, building green homes, protecting the environment and helping to create a sustainable world.
To live sustainably in this beautiful, peaceful, healthy, sacred place in the magnificent North Carolina mountains is to prosper.
