"This interesting book analyzes green communities thriving in North America and the people who build them. The authors provide case studies of a commune in Virginia, an ecovillage in L.A., and green active adult communities among other examples. The book ends with a list of 10 lessons about social sustainability." - Sierra Club, The Green Life
The book’s three parts explore:

-How community is central to sustainable living in everything from cohousing to communes
-Communities that specifically integrate green building design components with social justice politics such as racism, poverty, and urban alienation
-Housing options geared toward mainstream living that offer individual choices to those who wish to live green

Written for those desiring to hear a good news story, Living Green will appeal to individuals and communities living a sustainable lifestyle, green building activists, and academics in sociology, planning and design, architecture, and environmental fields.
