Through sharing utilities and some resources, community members can live well while using much less energy per person than the average American. Ganas, an urban community in Staten Island, New York utilizes both technology (water saving devices, efficient light bulbs, etc.) and encouragement to reduce energy usage. They do this through their in-house newsletter and community-wide meetings. Ganas also runs several retail stores dedicated to recycling used goods. http://www.ganas.org
