Despite receiving over one million visitors a year, they have managed to
|
|
keep the streets, buildings, restaurants, public toilets, and public
|
|
showers are all very clean and much of the neighbourhood is covered in
|
|
tree. The houses use solar and wind power and composting and reed beds
|
|
to filter waste. Leading to the commune being shortlisted for a
|
|
pan-Scandanavia award for ecological living.\[1\]
