The explosion of green communities across the United States in spite of the recession is heartwarming. Gripping concern for the environment has taken hold and given way to a new dawn of responsibility and awareness.
New developments are popping up every month here in the United States. Recognition of the benefits of getting back to nature, caring for our planet and going green has given way to backyard gardens and the creation of more green spaces. These small steps benefit the environment, sustain life and help stabilizes the economy. How so? When the mind set of people change so does their focus. People begin to look for ways to become environmentally friendly on a personal level and this mushrooms into communities and the nation.
Sustainable communities support the environment and economy. Developers hire Architects and Construction crews, Investors borrow money from Lending institutions and Home Buyers becomes residents who change the landscape of our environment for future generations.
Today there’s an acute awareness of the need for sustainability in every aspect of our environment and the movement towards quiet peaceful neighborhoods filled with environmentally concerned families is just the beginning.
Truly this is a ‘Sunrise’ for sustainability.

This is such a great post to see. I love reading about folks going greener and have been feeling something very similar in my own blue collar town, which makes it that much more heart warming!
Cheers!

While most of us cannot afford to move into a green enclave we can be green where we are. On way is to grow our own food. Not always easy, but much easier to do together in yard sharing groups… check out hyperlocavore.com a free yard sharing community.
