Los Angeles Eco-Village Sustainable Community

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.
