Residents of a cohousing community in Salt Lake City's Glendale neighborhood aim to apply their eco-friendly practices to the Great Salt Lake.
Residents of Wasatch Commons, in Glendale, have a goal to put eco-friendly practices first, to help the lake and other places.
“We like living simply, and this place has allowed us to do that,” said Wason. “That’s part of our values – not consuming too much.” The members of Wasatch Commons said they crave community. Every aspect is orchestrated to foster interaction. Residents share garages, outdoor equipment and yards, Wason said. When walking through the commons, visitors will see children playing inside the shared common house or the adults cooking breakfast together. Meticulously planted flowers and plants adorn the pathway through the neighborhood, a testament to efforts made to beautify their community.
Gerome Bosteels-Tcaciuc and Vicky Wason gather for brunch nearly every Saturday with other residents of Wasatch Commons, a cohousing community in Salt Lake City's Glendale neighborhood.Residents are not just bonded by their shared space, they also have a sense of shared responsibility towards the environment around them, including Great Salt Lake, just 17 miles west of the cohousing community.
“I’ve been working with this lake since 1985,” said Bosteels, 60. “It means a living, you know, but I think there’s an emotional connection there. … It’s just beautiful when you are out there in the winter, and you wake up in the morning and see those sunrises and sunsets.”
