Citizenship- This is an achievement that they have learnt from BedZed. This is citizenship because it is something that involves a whole community and engages everyone to be involved as it is a way of life for the people that live their. Along with that it is good for the environment as it is something that saves energy, and so has a more sustainable energy production and consumption. It is also self reliant in the sense that it provides its own food sources and has a waste management scheme. Due to this being the way people will live their life they will work together and strive to achieve this.
