the way i see it, that perhaps we should be pooling our resourses to get larger parcels of land at bettr prices, having a sense of community and everyone helping everyone else. i dont want to haveto everything myself...i will if i have to, but mr reynolds concepts in new mexico are tried tested and true - why would i want to try to re-invent the wheel? i agree with mike, we dont have time left. why putz around taking 4 years to build my ship...when it can be built with skilled experienced hands in 6 months to a year turn key. barn raising approach and barter system seems to me to be the only logical choice. im seeking like minded to get someting like taos started here in canada.

like mike says; "we are running out of time" lets streamline.

im so impressed with what the eco-villages are doing for our world. my greatest dream is to secure some land with like minded, and set up earthship farming communities that use the barter system to live in the greatest harmony with the earth. mike reynolds has the plans for large condo complexs to house everyone fom the poor to the wealthy in the greenest of settings.

my biggest issue with eco-villages is their dominant spiritual practices, and some political systems. my personal belief is that politically if they follow the 12 traditions, they cant go wrong.

is there any others that would agree with me? i love what mike has done with reach and star. i believe these can be duplicated over and over, without anyone being up in anyone elses face, much freedom. the world is a big place thats getting smaller all the time.

time is of the essence, how can i make the the biggest positive impact on the planet with my limited knowledge and skills , in the shortest amount of time.

Hi guys,
the link on top of the tread wasn't working for me.
I'll try later again to open it.
I would also be interested in seeing if there would be a possibility to get an ES community going here in Canada. Bartering sounds good to me, makes total sense.I could for sure pull my weight with Electric Solar Systems!! Where could that happen??? I'm just looking at some land here in NS (120 acres) and try to reason if I could make a go here..............Probably not, 'cause the Nova Scotian's are not interested in it:(
So should I just do it by/for myself???
I'm really in a life changing situation and would be able to move too.

But where too??????????
Just some thoughts

This is all very interesting. I live in Ottawa and have been talking to a number of friends who are very keen on moving to Nova Scotia to buy land and build their own stawbale home. I am interested in an Earthship myself.


What I see here is that there are people who want to buy a large property and to build 'off the grid' homes in a eco-village. Has anything been done about this idea? Is there a website that can collect like minded individuals/families together? Does any one know how to start an eco-village? I agree that many hands make light work, so why not help each other out?!

Good to see that others are looking for something similar too.
My plan is to get to Taos to see all by myself and hopefully be able to participate in the internship in 2010.
The new schedule should be out in a few weeks.
After that it is just a matter of deceiding where to start.
