Community-Based Resource Sharing
Growing & Sharing Food
In the Chicagoland area, a shipping container community of 20 homes can enhance climate change resiliency in several ways. We touch on Resource Sharing in this article.
In a densely populated urban area like Chicago, a shipping container community can pool resources for enhanced climate resilience.
Shared solar power systems, community gardens, and water catchment & management infrastructure are ideal.
This reduces the overall environmental footprint while increasing its ability to adapt to disruptions.
The community can reduce overall energy & water use and results in an additional 0.5-1 ton of CO2 savings per home annually.
