1.Being Ecovore and Localvore

2. Supporting Multiple Activities

3. Eco Tourism

It is an environmentally conscious individual who chooses food that is produced locally and sustainably, with the intention of reducing the carbon footprint in their kitchen.

Fall City has lush natural landscapes, and activities that are equally as rich should be implemented to complement that abundance. Local residents are in need of more open spaces for an array of different activities, and visitors to Fall City need to be presented with opportunities to learn about the town and its surrounding landscape.

The proposals of a community garden, ecovore center, wetlands replacing residual space, alley enhancements, and public bathrooms are all projects intended to not only enrich the lives of Fall City’s residents, but to also introducethe bases for ecotourism. Sustainability is an extremely important concept these days, and it is preeminent in every design. Besides creating a greener and more self-sustaining community, our proposals also anticipate generating revenue that will further support Fall City.

With the proposals of a community garden and an ecovore center, I am introducing the concept of consuming products that come straight out of your backyard. Without having to import produce from long distances away, fuel consumption and carbon production will decrease, and local businesses will be able to thrive without external competition.
