To me, a sustainable community looks like an accessible community for all--access to fresh food, quality education, parks and recreational activities--ideally all that can be reached by foot. This video was extremely interesting--I have never heard of these anaerobic digesters before but it is amazing how they can take on of the most potent GHG and turn it into energy, on-site to offset energy consumption!! Innovative energy solutions like this would be part of the plan as well. 

Looking forward to buying one. I've noticed more plug in spots at grocery stores etc.

I worked at the community garden, the Garden of Eden. They raise vegetables for the local food pantry. Really enjoyed working outdoors with members of the Jewish and Chinese community. It helps knowing our hard work will help feed hungry people.

Take the train or a bus. Drive a hybrid or electric car if I can.

I love buying my milk from a local farmer in a glass jar - no waste!  Fresh milk!  Supporting a local farmer!  It just doesn't get better than that.  If only I had a Local Harvest store closer to me, I would shop there more often.  At least it is farmers' market season!
