Asheville Sustainable and Tiny House Building Co-Operative

 

This group was initially started by Catherine in Asheville, NC. She started ASBCO because she was inspired by the Amish idea of 'Community', by Habitat for Humanity and the spirited people of Asheville. In the Amish community, everyone comes together to help with 'barn-raising'. We have nothing like that in the secular world, except perhaps for Habitat for Humanity, which benefits low income, hardworking families.

Since Catherine has stepped down, Boomer and I have decided to carry on her wishes as we share her vision.

I would like to combine these ideals to help everyone build practical, economical, durable, alternative energy, green homes at a greatly reduced cost with help from volunteers. Together, we can better our own lives while helping the planet. All ages & levels of experience welcome! For more information, please see our Calendar of Events or Contact Us.

 

The Goals

• Learn more about green building through lectures, networking & sharing information

• Make green home building more affordable by organizing volunteer labor

• Source of information for events, education & all things Green in WNC

 

The Overall Vision

• Have a fun, rewarding experiences building with our neighbors

• Reduce the cost of utilities through green building practices & alternative energy
• Use durable, low maintenance materials to keep cost of home ownership down
• Reduce the size of the mortgage by exchanging knowledge, skills and sweat equity
• Reduce our carbon footprint & build more responsible homes with less waste

 

We are not an Intentional Community,

Just neighbors helping neighbors.
