Breaking Down the Barriers

Many social effects could be avoided by replacing strategic parts of our suburbs with family and extended family grouped ecological villages. Over 20% of global greenhouse gases can be saved by passive/active solar homes. Most waste problems could be avoided through grey water treatment. To effect change, successful demonstrations must be available for the community.
