Our community's mission is to network with others to build community right where we live.

As the future of the economy is uncertain, community is crucial for sustainability and a greater quality of life. Additionally, in the event of a natural disaster, an epidemic, or anything that could disrupt the comfortable world we live in right now, it's helpful to 'plan for a rainy day.'

I recently taught a class in New Orleans and the participants were all 'disaster ready' because they had already survived Katrina and learned immensely from it.  In many ways, the folks in Louisana are far more prepared than many across the USA because of their hard lessons learned.  

Successful sustainable communities include people who live within a short distance of each other and can trade/compliment each other with things each of us need to live comfortably when things get challenging.

Our community looks similar to the ones in our recent past history. This is a community where people live in their own homes but know many of their neighbors and communicate with each other on regular basis.

Everyone lives independently in their own homes and lives their own way of life but yet there is a community connection that improves quality of life by sharing and helping each other to improve the overall quality of life in the community.

This community is based in East Cobb but it is open to other areas outside of East Cobb as well.

Virtually anyone who is interested in sustainable living is a great fit for our monthly meetings to brainstorm and discuss solution-based, positive forms of sustaining ourselves no matter what the external circumstances looks like.

This is a fun, upbeat, highly interactive networking meeting that explores the possibilities of making life even better through community and sharing. Potluck sharing adds to the fun and the enjoyment of all who attend.

Topics include (but are not limited to) gardening, canning, storing, foraging, farm animals, protection, bartering, alternative energy and water sources.
