ECOVILLAGE STRIVING FOR SUSTAINABILITY NEAR OUR NATIONS'S CAPITAL

摘要

Residents of the Frederick, Maryland area have long been searching for a new style of living, one that will allow their beliefs in neighborhood to be realized and that will instill a spirit of community and sharing in their children. To bring this concept into reality, they have come together with the concept of an Ecovillage. This community will emphasize the individuals who live there and the natural area in which the site is found. Buildings will be designed in such a way that residents can assist in the construction. Designs will promote energy efficiency and careful use of the area's resources.
