Grow Community.
From the outset, the Grow Community was envisioned as a sustainable neighborhood, incorporating all of the principals of new urbanism, focusing on energy efficiency and creating an interactive community. The project is ideally located on the edge of the commercial center of town to create a pedestrian-oriented, energy-efficient, multigenerational neighborhood. Our goal is not just to meet codes and standards for reducing our impact and usage of water and energy, but to set new standards for sustainable, affordable living, creating a community where social engagement and carbon reduction are equally important goals.
BioRegional , an independent, non-profit environmental organization is helping us to achieve these goals through the One Planet Living® framework. The program initiates with the understanding that if everyone on earth lived like North Americans, we would need five planets’ worth of resources to support our standard of living. The One Planet concept was developed to help people and organizations to live and work within a fair share of our planet’s resources. It uses ten guiding principles as a framework to help individuals and organizations to examine the sustainability challenges that they face, and to develop appropriate solutions.
