Organizations for Sustainable Living
- Community Solution - "We envision a country where the population is distributed in small communities that are sustainable, diverse and culturally sophisticated."
Homes for Sustainable Living
Small homes are the latest development in sustainable
housing. One of the advantages of small homes is that they can be easily
moved from one community to another to offer more diversity and variety in
surroundings. In this way, your housing investment travels with you. For
example, you might live in a college oriented sustainable community and then
after graduating, decide to transition to young professionals community or
family oriented community. For more information on little homes, visit Tumbleweed Houses at:

Iowa City. A loosely affiliated group of people in
the Iowa City area are working toward more sustainable living through
promoting trails for bike riding and more pedestrian friendly urban
development. There is a local grocery store co-op [click

purchasing land as a location for a sustainable community of little homes [click
