Cohousing-L Mailing List: Nubanusit Cohousing in Sierra Club Mag

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

The December issue of the Sierra Club magazine has a two page article
(page 64 of paper version).  It in a 'department' called "Comfort Zone"
whose suggestion form says:

 Gimme Green Shelter
 Share your ideas for ecofriendly living spaces

 What's your idea of a green living space? Enter the name and location of
 the residence, office building, or other sustainably constructed building
 that you think we should highlight in Sierra's "Comfort Zone" department,
 and tell us why in 50 words or less.

The article can be found at:
http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/200911/comfortzone.aspx

While of course noting the energy efficiency of the houses, it also says:

"... Nubanusit stands out because its residents can do more eco-good as a
group than they could as individual homeowners. "

"The neighborhood offers less strenuous social opportunities too." [and
describes ] " an impromptu parade on the property. "
