There Really is A GREEN Neighborhood in San Jose de Gracia

A View to the East in Section One

Although this Blog has been inactive for almost 3 years, that hasn't stopped the Green neighborhood of SJdG from expanding. When this Blog was envisioned, there were only a few houses in each Section of the Neighborhood. In Section One, there was only two completed and two more being built. Since then, The first two have been improved, the two on the way have been mostly completed and two others are works-in-progress. And another has been planned.
In Section Two, there were Seven completed and another started. Now there are Ten Homes completed and Two are works-in-progress, near completion.
Not all of the neighbors agree on every aspect of green living. Still, most have water catchment, solar electricity, and some form of grey water disbursal. Most built with some or all of their materials coming from natural or renewable resources, such as adobe or stone. And everyone has built according to their particular vision of Green, even if it didn't live up to the first ideas of Permaculture, which were the early driving force.
The Green Neighborhood here, is taking some first steps in shrinking the Carbon footprint. We invite everyone to follow in our footsteps and begin shrinking theirs.
