Reduce Consumption : Produce Locally


Hello

Submitted by Tree on August 29, 2005 - 11:37am.

Hi,
I've just joined this group. Doesn't look like much is happening, tho'. Why not?

Would anyone like to start a discussion?
Would any of you like to tell us about yourselves?
Why have you joined this group?
What actions are you taking towards our topic of interest. How self-sufficient are you? Are any of you in a group, or groups in Maine?
Tree

Yes I have just joined as well and am currently setting up Post Carbon Dublin. I hate typing so usually don't contribute much to these discussions. I am living in Ireland and very active in promoting the Peak Oil concept and exploring ways to powerdown and respond to the prospect of living with less fossel fuels. I am involved in the Village a large scale low impact community project which has just bought a farm and got planning permission for 132 eco houses, a farm and woodlands area. See www.thevillage.ie check it out.
Also www.sustainable.ie

Good luck in Maine.

Sounds great Davie! I wish more people had the gumption (and capital) to undertake this here in Canada.
Best of luck and keep the site posted on developments.

Hi Tree,

We're meeting in Waterville on Jan.1st at 10:45 am. Upstairs in the meditation room at the UU Church on Silver Street in Waterville. We've been meeting for a while. This month's topic will be: Psychological barriers to conservation/efficiency and preparation. Bring your thoughts!

Regards to Maine and Dublin.
Report here from Guelph ON Canada where a veritable armada of bicycles rules the road
fighting the Oil Beast.
There must be more.
Too many cyclists killed here. I knew two of them. Forgotten souls in the fight.
Just going to work killed by petrol beasts.
Since Gulf War One I have hated the black stuff. That is the first step.
Lets get this website started friend
Regards
Reid
