What is a Sustainable Development?
Posted Jun 29, 2007 @ 12:17 am, Viewed by 362 Visitors, Read 367 Times.Below is a list of benefits you can expect if you move into a sustainable development:
Economic Conservation
Affordability – In an effort to make homes more economically conservative, they are smaller, stand on smaller plots, and use fewer unnecessarily expensive materials for building. The result is greater affordability for the average homebuyer.
Lower bills – Sustainable developments are built to conserve natural resources. Water-based heating systems, solar panels, high efficiency appliances, less yard to water, and pedestrian friendly neighborhoods with local businesses translate into less money spent on utility bills and gas tank fill-ups.
Cultural Conservation
Inviting community spaces – Sustainable developments offer more community areas than normal neighborhoods, such as community gardens, parks, and culture-building businesses such as art studios.
Community activities – Sustainable developments encourage neighbors to get to know each other through an active community. Community rec centers offer fun activities for everyone, and neighborhoods usually include trails and other community activity areas.
Environmental Conservation
Environmentally safe building materials – The materials used to build sustainable development are non-toxic and safe for the environment.
Conservation of natural resources – Sustainable developments are carefully designed to create less of a draw on our natural resources. Solar panels, water-based heating, and high efficiency appliances can cut household utility usage in nearly half; smaller yards reduces water consumption, as well.
Less dependence on cars – With rising gas prices and shriveling oil supplies, convenience is key. Sustainable developments reduce residents’ dependence on cars by offering pedestrian-friendly walkways and retail districts within walking distance.
The Right Choice
Sustainable developments offer lower bills, less dependence on cars, and friendly environment – all while knowing you are making an investment in the environment for your children’s future. What’s not to like?
