"It's like a mirror of the ecosystem," says Tracie Troxler.

"The more healthy the ecosystem is here, the more healthy the ecosystem is outdoors."

Troxler is the executive director of Sunshine Community Compost, one of 11 nonprofits in a new office space in Sarasota, Fla., called the Resilience Incubator, which is designed to bring together environmental advocates in a similar way to how the components of the natural world collaborate, reports the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

The idea is to help save lives through environmental and veterans' causes, and add to "everything that we're doing to create this community as it grows by leaps and bounds," Troxler says.

The incubator, which opened in June, is a collaboration between the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation, the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
