Just the other morning I caught the tail end of a great documentary Escape from Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream. There were several points that were brought up for the change that environmentalists seek when thinking about re-planning their own communities. One in particular is Willits, CA, this community has banded together to create a more sustainable community through both eco-villages, and other sustainable practices. The preservation of the community was sought out by the people and they did just that. A localized economy was built through supplying all of their own power. It was solutions like these that kept the community with its head above the rest. The majority of the actions that were implemented from grass roots groups in the community that wanted a change, and were not going to wait for others (Goverment) to do it for them.
