Eco-Village uses the whole-systems process/approach to community development, intending to integrate the social, economic and physical aspects of neighborhood life to be sustainable over the long term. For more information on LA Eco-Village, go to http://ww.ic.org/laev/
An ecovillage is a human-scale neighborhood where people know their neighbors and care about them. People can live close to where they work and play and have access to other essential services without use of automobiles. Together, neighbors try to minimize waste and pollution of all kinds. Residents and friends work together to create a healthy community socially, physically and economically.
CRSP, located since 1980 in LA?s Bimini and White House Place neighborhood, provides a variety of resources on small cooperative ecological communities both locally and nationally. CRSP founded Los Angeles Eco-Village after the Civil Unrest of 1992, to put its resources to work in a way that could benefit the city at large.
