TREE Update!
I shared in my book about TREE, the third neighborhood at EcoVillage at Ithaca. TREE builds off of the two other neighborhoods we built at EcoVillage, cooperatively. We were honored recently with the opportunity to share broadly what we are learning through an EPA Climate Showcase Communities grant in partnership with Tompkins County. Tompkins County is where we live in New York and truly is in the forefront in modeling a sustainable future. Our regional EPA administrator, Judith Enck, did an interview on WHCU Morning Newswatch and clearly understands the possibility that our work represents in choosing a sustainable future.
Love those Students!
Recently we had two wonderful groups of young people from Montclaire and from Syracuse come and visit EcoVillage. It's refreshing to see their commitment to creating a sustainable future for all of us. If these young people reflect their generation we can be proud. They get it. The bottom line is about planet, people and profit -- not all about profit.
One of the special things we can offer in Ithaca is a tour that truly gives insight into the fact that sustainability is about many things -- one being about energy, but another is also about social justice. Sustainable living is for all of us.

Building Local Food Systems...
Mass media buzz puts lots of emphasis on green technology... and yet returning to 'greening' of our farms and building local food systems is not only necessary but essential to the health of people and the planet. Enjoy the HabitatSeven produced video.
