A new report by CABE grapples with the difficulty of making eco-towns live up to their sustainable billing. http://www.cabe.org.uk/default.aspx?contentitemid=2771
Among the proposals the report recommends monitoring the number of car trips made by residents, the type of waste they produce, their energy use and the food they eat . Their lifestyles are also to be micromanaged by making sure they only only eat local produce and travel less. The report has generated something of a backlash http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/sep/26/ecotowns.ethicalliving. Nonetheless Sherford the Prince of Wales' eco-town will house 12,000 people. But who would want to live there?
