Zero Carbon Sustainable Community

 

Carbon Busters is excited to announce the design and development of the first ever Carbon Buster's Village, a zero carbon sustainable community just outside the City of Edmonton. The intent is to design and develop a pilot Sustainable Community that is zero carbon which will showcase innovative green systems for water, grey water, waste treatment, power generation and green living practices with a focus on research and education for sustainable development. A number of design charrettes have been planned to reach best practice for the village in the coming months.

Carbon Busters is a member of the Provincial Working Group for the Education for Sustainability (albertaesd.ca) developing a vision for Alberta as part of the UN Decade for sustainability. In our efforts to connect with Albertans, the Alberta ESD Working Group, has sent out invitations to gather and bring together members from Social Justice groups, Business leaders from Social enterprises and Environmental Educators from formal, informal and non-formal sectors of the community. The result of the visioning process has led to a number of innovative projects being developed including the design and development of a sustainable school and a Centre for Learning as part of a Sustainable community.

Details of the project will be announced once we have confirmation from all our stake holders at the County and Provincial levels.

Planner/Designers for the project, Godo Stoyke and Shanthu Mano, are in the process of bringing together a number of experts to make this project a success. Stay tuned for more.
