Research an example of a green building/ sustainable building/ ecovillage OR a local green business (e.g. organic farm, an ecoforestry centre etc) in your hometown.
Please send to me the following answers about the same business (on one-two pages if possible):

1) What does the business/ecovillage etc make/do and why is it labelled "green" or "sustainable". Is there some kind of certification that allows us to know that the practices are sustainable?

2) What materials or strategies are used for this building or business to reduce footprints, reduce waste, increase sustainability, reduce use of non-renewable resources etc.

3) Are there any characteristics of the location (demographic, environmental, economic, policy - framework conditions) that make this business relatively sustainable?

4) Is the business/development economically viable?

5) Does it meet conservation objectives? How well do they monitor their own success?
