Ecovillage Community Overview - Dallas

Find out about an ecovillage starting outside of Rockwall that will be off-grid with solar electricity, solar hot water, rainwater harvesting, and graywater recycling--all designed to Permaculture principles and practices. Zero energy homes will be built to your design and size specifications. Grow all your own food organically and grow additional produce to sell if you wish. In other words, live sustainably in an intentional commuity. Everyone owns a home and crop area in his/her/their own name. Other land (community buildings, pond, workshop, barn, play areas, wooded area, etc.) is held in in the community's name. This free talk will cover all aspects of the village via Power Point and then allow ample time for your questions.

Moving Planet "Flash Mob" - Dallas

It is obvious that the City of Dallas and its surrounding suburbs lack an efficient public transit system; transportation in Dallas is ineffective and impractical without the use of an automobile. Given the high number of commuters that travel in and out of the city every day, it is clear that Dallas must incorporate a better public transit system in order to become a more sustainable city.

On September 24, we, the residents of Dallas, will gather at the DART Rail Forest Lane station and sign a petition to government demanding better and more sustainable public transportation. We will ride the DART train towards the Shops at Park Lane plaza (in a "flash mob") and gather in the famous "350 formation" (http://earth.350.org/big-pictures/) so a photograph can be taken from a top story floor. From there, we will  ride on the DART rail to Texas Discovery Gardens (Fair Park), where the Dallas Green Festival will be held. At the park, we will host a speaker to communicate the importance of sustainable transportation.
