The project is applying green, healthy and low carbon lifestyle into real scenes and leading more people to concerning, understanding and participating in the sustainable lifestyle practice. The project makes efforts in the aspects of the plan of sharing life concepts, the design and construction of container houses, utilization of clean energy, disposal of household garbage, application of reclaimed water facilities and methane system, and the promotion and product development of household organic farming techniques. It is dedicated to build a comprehensive experimental system of sustainable life and explore its possible application to the construction of a new sustainable community.
The Context
With the acceleration of urbanization and over-consumption of material resources, people crave a natural and green lifestyle. They want to have a pastoral life, but do not want to leave cities. At present, China has not a community or a systematic experiment putting together the buildings, ecological systems, processes, business models and participation of people.
