HOW DO THEY SAVE SO MUCH?

Sharing resources has helped civilization for thousands of years. People pay for shared services that benefit the majority. Examples: Fire department, schools, hospitals, roads, airports, etc.

Prosper Village shares resources too...such as solar energy and food growing. We eliminate the cost of duplicating products that often end up in garage sales, Goodwill or trash bins when people downsize or move.

Most families have lawn mowers, ladders, hundreds of DVDs, several TVs and two cars. Is any of it worth the mountain of bills or sleepless nights? What if one car could be eliminated? How much would be saved? Substitute a short stroll across a nature path to a 20 hour work week and eliminate long commutes to multiple jobs. Fewer cars on the road. Reduced costs for car payments, insurance, gas, tolls and stress.

Financial relief means greater prosperity. How helpful is that to people and the planet?

Jack Reed spoke before the United Nations Eco Visionary Summit. Prosper Village is the kind of place that would have people wondering: "Those people are living a whole lot better than we are. What do we need to do to get from here to there?"
