Cottage Grove, Ore. -- In our year-long look at sustainability, we've discovered that the subject covers a wide array of issues.  We've examined air quality, the Carrot Mob and in this segment on sustainability, a visit to Aprovecho.  A rare look inside a sustainable community near Cottage Grove.

It's the dream that the founders dreamed; build a sustainable community, brick by handmade brick.  Plant the seeds of a rustic third-world type community, water generously, and then watch it bloom.
