Approximately thirty miles east of Dallas, in Seagoville, Texas, an independently managed and special environmental housing village called Ecology Housing exists. Here, the air is cleaner, a vital factor for the healing process. The well water on the property is filtered and free of chlorine. Organic gardening is popular with residents. We, the village management insist, that all residents with Environmental Illness must be under a local doctor's care. The majority of these residents are under the medical supervision of the staff at the Environmental Health Center - Dallas.

To the newcomer the outward appearance of the village lacks in "real-estate curb appeal." However, from an ecological perspective our village is the best and healthiest! Since we are allergic to most building materials, our units are designed to be functional - not beautiful.

The numerous 30-gallon metal trash containers, though unsightly, provide storage space for valuable items that would otherwise contaminate our living areas. We have learned to keep our environment as chemically free as possible.

The kitchen and laundry facilities are open, which allows fresh air to circulate. This reduces the accumulation of odors from foods cooking or machines operating.

We feel a "pioneering spirit" here and accept the necessary changes in life style in order to feel healthier, happier, productive and hopefully become more compassionate as human beings.
