When a 91,000-acre piece of vacant land came up for sale in Southwest Florida about ten years ago, it attracted builders from across the country. After all, the chance to develop an area almost five times the size of Manhattan does not come frequently. But to everyone’s surprise, the owners did not auction the property that lies just 20 minutes from Fort Myers to the highest bidder. Instead, they sold it to Palm Beach-based Kitson & Partners who not only promised to preserve a bulk of the land, but also use the remaining acreage to build an environmentally friendly town.

          you're right, thezodiackiller, if all the towns were like this, the coal power plants would not be needed and our planet's pollution rate would go down alot.

                    We need more of these towns and cities across the globe to slow and stop climate change. Maybe in developing countries it'll help! :D :)
