Loading...
Uploaded by jpetrocelli1 on Jun 6, 2008
Castle View Estates the leader in innovation for the first certified Environmentally Friendly Community in California announces the opening of its Tract 7338 near Pleasanton, Ca. A unique gated 52 acre AG & residential community in Alameda County. Being the first to totally go green in a community which recycles all of its energy needs and is completely self-contained, it's such a unique concept in California it took years of planning by the Castle View Estates leaders. The uniqueness of this project is such that very high end homes are built GREEN with certification from the Department of Energy with the Energy Smart label. These homes are constructed from Green materials being environmentally friendly at a cost below the typical market.

He's talking about the Amish, not Green Acres.

check out Atlas City and The Venus Project for similar ideas for cities.

The builder did not provide any real facts to show his claims of being a green builder. He mentioned certifications. Certification are good for making us feel we deal with credible companies but they do not mean we are dealing with efficient builders who care to protect our planet. I would like to see proof of green construction practices. Certifications can be paid for, but you have to walk the talk. If you do, it would be good to show us your company is more than a cash grab.

can't you be sued for calling yourself totally self suffiecent green? Looks more like an incredibly large amount of outside resourses built this. Totally self suffiecent means a closed system - I doubt they grow any of the food necessary to be self suffiecent. Completely green means they created a new habitat for the displaced ecosystem. I hate the stupid use of meaningless trendy words by people who don't know what they mean.
Completely green = zero impact.

Yeah, and they also don't have electricity or running water...

Actually we do have all utilities in. That includes gas & electrical, phone and cable, and water is to every lot supplied by well water that can pump 2,000,000 gallons per year with storage on site of 35,000 gallons. Also we capture rain water and us it to irrigate crops.
