Eco-Home and Edible Urban Garden
Our model Eco Home and enchanting urban edible garden showcase ways for renters to impact the climate.
Environmental news (good and bad) can seem huge and impersonal. Most residential information is for homeowners and green building construction. We are filling a niche that reaches urban populations that are tenants and ranging in income.
Everyone can enjoy all the goodness a greener life has to offer.

Why this matters?
Since 2005, more than 50% of humans live in cities globally and in the US, 36% of people are renters. This place is for gathering perspectives and incentives on how this population can positively impact the climate. When it comes to planet-friendly shifts, there is strength in numbers. Little changes really add up!
