this is about car sharing, but it also is about intntional community
thank you for you interview with diana. i've have her book,"creating life together which is very helpful, i wish she would write something on how to find a core group. this seems to be a real problem for people trying to start a community. it's impo…
Rosemary: Below is a interview with and Eco-Village expert, my hope is it will provide you insight as you build your intentional community.

if you are going to have some kind of exchange group, there has to be some structure to organize it. the time bank idea seems good to me and there is none at present in this area. what do you think of it?
hmmm, would that take care of the over weight problem and overpopulation too????

- About Me:
- i'm a mother of one beautiful daughter and a grandmother of one beautiful grandson. i live in the woods with my beautiful cats. i'm a retired montessori preschool teacher who enjoys the company of children. i have a great interest and love of nature especially woodlands, ponds, streams and creatures great and small, even microscopic. i like sitting on lake michigan shore sifting through pebbles to find fossils and pretty stones, canoeing when i can, finding tiny living things to look at under a microscope. i like to think about things and talk too much. i try to keep a sense of humor and a sense of wonder.
i hope you won't think that i am unfriendly by not participating in the "friend network"...i'd just rather develop relationships in other ways.
