We are New Yorkers (and expatriates) who are troubled by the rapid and continuing decline of the ecosystem and want to make a change, starting by reducing our own impact on the environment. Our goal is to build a "Virtual Urban Eco-Village" focused on Green Living, Sustainability Skills and Education, New Urbanism, Community Gardens, Green Homes, Permaculture, Holistic Health, Volunteering, Environmental Activism, and much more.
