Living Green:
Communites That Sustain

by Jennifer  Fosket;  Laura  Mamo

Fosket and Mamo visited several communities looking for keys to sustainable living. They found several versions of green: back to the land communities, co-housing, and communities with both environmental and social missions.

From case studies of these communities, the authors draw the conclusion that truly green communities require "The Ten Cs of Social Sustainability": culture, context, citizenship, commitment, collaboration, connectedness, care, contact, commons, and continuity. These ten terms sum up the human, environmental, and economic elements required for sustainability.
