Sonoma Mountain Village is a 200-acre Zero Carbon, Zero Waste development in Rohnert Park, California designed with a philosophy centered on restoration instead of minimizing harm. Careful design and social marketing will intentionally foster a “local-first” culture of healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.

If everyone lived as Americans do we would need 5.3 planets to support us.

Codding and BioRegional North America are working together to create a process to reduce the ecological footprint of the entire 1900-home community down to a truly sustainable, one planet level by 2020.
