ecoproperties
A true sustainable community that has some native forest on its land, looks at that as something to protect and defend, not fill up with sales lots and "tree houses".
I am working with some people to start a sustainable ecovillage. We are planing how to rebuild our soils for cultivation. How to supply our energy. How to utilize our "wastes". How to operate our school. How to protect our forest. How to finance and operate our workshops, social hall & village store. How to raise our animals. These are the things we will talk about to attract residents mainly because that's what we want them to be interested in.
I'd like to point out that a defective plan for a sustainable community is more likely the result of good intentions with a lack of knowledge on the part of those planing than a deliberate scam.
I was once in contact with a real estate development broker in the US who was pushing a person to develop a sustainable community. We were told that this person was an expert in truely green operations because he had designed and built three major golf courses! In our group this is still a regularly mentioned thing as a joke!
