Hi,
This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.
Thanks

Urban Eco-Village Planned for Canada’s Capital

Ottawa eco-village, one planet community, urban eco-village, brownfields redevelopment, green stormwater management, urban agriculture, riverfront development, pedestrian streetscape


Imagine a place where homes open onto gardens fed by streams from the rainwater flowing off nearby rooftops. Narrow cobblestone streets lead past vibrant storefronts to the village green where a group of musicians plays and children romp on the grass. Solar panels are woven into rooftops and the sound of free-flowing water drowns out car traffic. This is not just a dream—it’s a plan for 40 acres of waterfront and rocky islands in the Ottawa River.
