Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage - Sustainable is Possible

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/7/7/8/600_13470584.jpeg

Join Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage (http://www.DancingRabbit.org/) founder Tony Sirna, for an evening of stories and photos, community and connection, inspiration and education, dinner and delights. Learn how a cohort of Stanford grads, after trying to build community in a group house in Berkeley, found a path to success in Rutledge, Missouri, beyond the reach of Bay Area real-estate prices and zoning restrictions/building codes. Discover the diversity of skills it took, how they created their own currency and governance systems, how they can live richly on less than $10,000 per person per year, using 10% of the water and energy of the typical American, and how they'll be getting even greener, more accessible, and more educational, with our help.

6:30 pm community-made dinner with people working to create the heart of a Berkeley Ecovillage (not a potluck, but BYOB)
7:30 - 9:00 pm slideshow presentation and discussion

Find out:

• What makes an ecovillage

• What life is like in an ecovillage

• How ecovillages are helping shape the future

Please, no smoking onsite or animals in the Common House. This is not a tour -- please don't disturb our neighbors, park in the lot, or go wandering around the community. As you exit, please keep your voices down, as some of our little neighbors have early bedtimes.
