Grass roots activists committed to a sustainable Rochester

Natural Home is taking submissions from innovative eco-developments in the United States and Canada. Please let us know if where you live (or where you wish you lived!) is healthy and sustainable. The top 10 eco-developments communities will be named in the May/June 2009 issue.

Deadline for submissions is January 21. Please send all submissions to any of the following emails:
editor (at) naturalhomemagazine.com, snelson (at) ogdenpubs.com or omullins (at) ogdenpubs.com.

Please email the following questions to us:
1. When is the ground-breaking and anticipated finish date?
2. Will some/any of the development's buildings be powered with alternative energy (solar, wind, geothermal)?
3. Is it a mixed use development with shops, restaurants, condos, houses?
4. Is it primary residences (as opposed to vacation homes)?
5. Is affordable housing available within the community?
6. Does the site qualify as urban infill or reclamation of existing developed land?
7. Is the location a former brownfield site?
8. Will structures be energy efficient or Energy Star certified?
9. Will there be any use of green/recycled building materials?
10. Is the development applying for LEED?
11. Are there any other sustainable features that we should know about?
