Los Angeles Eco-Village Sustainable Community
Channel: Robin Greenfield
Date: 2018-08-22

Los Angeles is one of the most polluted cities in the USA. Cars, money, and fame are a big focus. But, it's not all about consumerism. There's also the Los Angeles Eco-Village! The sustainable village is located three miles west of downtown L.A. Residents live more sustainably and intentionally with community, right in the city! The eco-village has a lush courtyard garden where they grow their own food, community compost to reduce their waste and enrich their land, and a chicken coop made with reclaimed materials. There's also a tool library so residents can share tools, a bike room for bike parking and a bike shop for fixing bikes, and a food buying club which is mostly unpackaged and waste free and far less expensive because they order in bulk. The multi-ethnic, mixed income, gender diverse community ranges from infancy to the elderly. Most residents reduce their carbon footprint by cycling and using public transportation. Families that don't have a car save $25 a month on rent! Rent is far more affordable than most of L.A. LAEV educates through tours, talks, workshops, conferences, and public advocacy. Share this video if you think the world needs more eco-villages!
