Sky, Florida is an experimental green town of the future. Currently, it is a mix of mostly pines, meadows, creeks, and random flowers. Eventually, it will be a model for other towns to look up to as an example. Sky will have one central air conditioner and one central heater; much of this will be controlled with a geothermal system . Half of its acres (571) will be used for farming, which will decrease its residences dependency on food trucked in from thousands of miles away. 

Sky will also have a shared wireless Internet capability. Engineers are hoping this inspires many residents to either move their small businesses there, or perhaps work from home, thus creating less road travel. Also within the town will be a waste-water recycling system. All water discarded through the communities plumbing would be converted back into clean H2O, suitable for drinking or anything else. 

Creators of the experimental area do not want to create another hippie commune, but rather a modern style of living with the environment in mind. If all towns took a tip from Sky, things like energy conservation, water management, and overall efficiency would be greatly improved the world through. Most developers feel that the town will appeal to a younger, more professional demographic, with a social conscience.
