More Meetings!

Okay, folks, this might be the one (group we work with).

On Sunday the 25th of November I attended a meeting with about a dozen other potential ecovillagers. I was afraid they might be flighty, unwilling to adopt decision-making structures or best-practices funding solutions -- but in fact, they are a grounded bunch, wanting to move quickly and adopt the forms that work in order to achieve their visions. I am very happy to be involved with them. Charlie and I will attend another meeting on December 9th. In the meantime, Matthew (one of their/our number) has agreed to set up a wiki for the group's process. I'll post the link when I get it.

On Monday the 26th, our 2nd marriage anniversary, we went to a cooperative housing meeting that described a remarkable development program that builds nearly zero-carbon houses at governmentally certified affordable housing prices for people who lease (and eventually may own) them through housing cooperatives. Brilliant! For more information on the project, Google Redditch Cooperative Homes or click there.
