Sustainability

We are committed to being good stewards of the land and environment at Pathways:

• All homes are energy efficient.

• Homes are oriented for maximal solar use and many are solar power outfitted.

• Our common house is solar powered. 

• We see electric cars in our future and have installed a charging station.  More and more of us are switching to electric cars.

• We have planted fruit trees, nut trees and fruit bushes. 

• Our gardens are aiming to be pollinator friendly.

• We have chickens.

• Cycling is valued by our community:  we are on the Norwottuck bike trail; we have ample bicycle storage; and we are within close cycling distance to downtown Northampton.

• We now have a bus stop at our entrance, which connects us to Northampton and surrounding towns by public transportation.
