Welcome to Green Village Philadelphia!

Dedicated to “the design of sustainable ecosystems that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both" (Mitsch, 1998). As industrial societies face an unprecedented convergence of ecological and social crises commonsense demands that political and corporate self-interest yield to a broader vision that addresses economic development, social justice, quality housing, ecological restoration and issues of sustainability simultaneously and holistically, not as isolated variables.

Green Village Philadelphia is a group of entrepreneurs, business owners and community activists engaged in developing an evolving community that is designed for multi-use, mixed income, and multi-generation living, working, learning, growing, creating and playing: a sustainable urban neighborhood that will be a pioneer of holistic urban planning. In 2008 we are honing our site search, initiating our clean technology incubation services, rolling out our first education series, and running the GVP design competition.

Drink a Beer...Save the Earth

Green Village Philadelphia is partnering with Philadelphia Brewing Company for an Earth Month fundraiser

During Earth month (April 15-May 15) we encourage you to help us build an eco-village right here in Philadelphia by drinking a pint (or two...or three...) of Philadelphia Brewing Company's Fleur de Lehigh. $1 will be donated to Green Village Philadelphia for every pint sold by participating bars and restaurants all across Philadelphia.

See, we make it easy. We're not asking you to plant a tree or install solar panels on your home (although that would be an excellent idea)...just sit back and enjoy a delicious pint of FlEur de Lehigh.
