It's healthy, and it's ultimately the most sustainable way to get from A to B.<BR/><BR/>Right about the waste stream - gross! But at the same time an extremely important factor in how we, as a civilization, interact with our environment. More on that in later posts!<BR/><BR/>I think it's important to reassert the central role of worship in the community, and I hope we can encourage faith-based groups to take root and build. Communities of this size (five to ten thousand) generally support several churches in the US, faith and denomination depending on the demographics, of course.Faramirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353113014098033607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165586102028795552.post-30893309937235655862008-10-12T11:57:00.000-07:002008-10-12T11:57:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Faramirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353113014098033607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165586102028795552.post-76014310848692494632008-10-06T22:29:00.000-07:002008-10-06T22:29:00.000-07:00The comments about food and waste streams are star...The comments about food and waste streams are startling to me; I have not heard about really trying to do that, and the idea of handling your own waste stream, besides being a bit gross, brings images of thousands of miniature sanitation plants to mind. I don't have advice for this, but that is my impression.<BR/><BR/>The second bullet makes sense, and is easier to digest. A couple things catch my eye though. The first is that while you are really talking about a savvy combination of walking, buses, and trains, it sounds at first like you're going to try to have a church, a mosque, and a synagogue at regular intervals so that they are in walking distance for everyone. I'm not sure if the emphasis on walking over various forms of public transit was intentional or not.<BR/><BR/>I think the inclusion of the fourth bullet is wise, and the imagery of the low point and the high point is good.Soaring Gryphonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00190075430219177766noreply@blogger.com
