问题详情:
When a 91,000-acre piece of vacant land came up for sale in Southwest Florida about ten years ago, it attracted builders from across the country. After all, the chance to develop an area almost five times the size of Manhattan does not come frequently. But to everyone's surprise, the owners did not sell the land that lies just 20 minutes from Fort Myers to the highest bidder. Instead, they sold it to Kitson & Partners who not only promised to preserve part of the land,but also use the remaining area to build an environmentally friendly town.
True to their word, as soon as the sale closed, the developers sold 73,000 acres to the government of Florida as part of the largest single land preservation agreement in the state's history. Over the last decade,the slate and county officials have worked hard at restoring the wetlands and other waterways? in what is now known as the Babcock Nature Preserve. Their efforts have resulted in the return of many native birds and plants that had disappeared from the region.
However,for some reason,it was not until Earth Day 2016(April 22)that the developers finally revealed their plans for America’s first “green” community.

Unlike most American cities,the homes in Babcock Ranch will not be powered by polluting fossil fuels like coal or ead,the residents will get energy from a solar cloudy days or at right,the grid(电网)powered by clean natural gas will take rding to Kitson,”The combination of energy will he the greenest in the country.
