Sustainable communities are resilient communities that are networked and engaged with local businesses. An episode from 2023 that stands out for me. "I think of the word networked....Jarvis (is) particularly good at linking the prime contractors to valuable local businesses that are very talented, but maybe under the radar because they don't have appropriate access to how to get the jobs that are available in the community. And when Tremayne talks about sustainability...if we want sustainable communities, we have to think through all of the elements of the community that are going to help us remain viable, thriving..." What does it means to build relationships and trust with the community? How does it help minority businesses, and us, when you help people make connections? Tremayne Terry and Jarvis Brown offer us insights. See the comments for a link or listen on your favorite player. #sustainability #community #localbusiness

Managing a community involves more than just overseeing day-to-day operations. It's about striking a delicate balance between the needs of residents, the maintenance of common areas, and the enforcement of community rules. From organizing events that foster a sense of belonging to implementing sustainable practices that benefit both residents and the environment, there's always something new to learn and explore in this ever-evolving field. Let's continue to innovate and redefine what it means to live in a thriving community. #stratamanagement #propertymanagement #sustainability #usmannoor10x #communitymanagement

What does sustainable development really mean?  It's not just about eco-friendly materials or energy efficiency. It's about creating communities that thrive over time. Are there footpaths and cycleways that reduce travel time and connect to nearby areas? Are they thoughtfully placed to support those choosing greener commutes or who may be financially vulnerable, making sure everyone has easy access to public transport? These considerations shape how people feel about their neighbourhoods—do they feel supported in their choices? Do they feel proud to call it home? Will companies feel confident that their employees' housing needs are met? Join the conversation with the Board and help shape a sustainable future for your community. Your voice matters! 💪🏼

Community impact is the backbone of a sustainable future. When communities unite, sharing resources, knowledge, and passion for a better world, amazing things happen. Imagine neighborhoods where residents collaborate to reduce waste, establish community gardens, and support local businesses. Picture towns powered by renewable energy sources, thanks to collective investment and shared expertise. Envision cities where everyone has access to clean water and green spaces, a result of dedicated community efforts. These are not just dreams, but achievable realities when communities come together for a common purpose. Let's continue to champion community-led initiatives that empower individuals, foster sustainable practices, and create a lasting impact on the planet. 🌱 #sustainability #communityimpact #sustainablefuture #collaboration #resourcesharing #sustainablepractices #globalgoals

I love building community, simplifying my life, saving money, AND protecting the planet. If you're looking to enjoy these benefits, check out my latest post diving into the benefits of a sharing economy. I define a sharing economy as a societal standard that enables us to buy fewer things via renting or sharing with others. For example, instead of buying a carpet cleaning vacuum, rent one from PetSmart, Home Depot, or elsewhere. Instead of buying a cooler for your upcoming road trip, borrow your neighbor Sarah's. If your friend is going to a wedding, loan them one of your dresses. If your dog no longer uses his crate, post it on a BuyNothing page.

A sharing and rental economy is a great direction to strive for in order to reduce our consumption and shift the way society views ownership vs utility. Take a look at this post to learn more!
