Abstract

The Sustainability Institute at Ohio State would like to help students put ideas for sustainable living and community development into practice by letting them form their own "sustainable community." Intentional communities and "ecovillages" have a long history of inspiring the broader world to a more sustainable and fulfilling way of life. This capstone group set out to analyze the successes and challenges of intentional communities and identify possible paths to form one at Ohio State while. This group also intended to start the process by giving students and staff a platform and a plan to begin launching this initiative.
