Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Green "Retirement Communities"?

[Racheli Gai (racheli]

Hi Carol,
I don't think "green" and "sustainable" are the same.
All cohousing communities I know of have  green features (some more
than others), but none is sustainable (because all still use way too  
many
resources).
