Do you know 'When Josie comes home...' by Steely Dan ?
Thanks everyone for posting the community details. I think this is a great idea. I took a look at the one in Wales...seems interesting... building that earth wall must have taken a few man-woman hours... !
Please feel free to post any community stuff here or any ideas/thoughts you may have for starting/joining your own...
For example, how 'self-sufficient' does a community need to be? Does it need to be totally stand alone. If it can generate revenue in some way, does it really need to do everything itself??
I don't think making community is just about coping in a post apocalyptic sense (well not any more) I think it's also about finding an alternative way of approaching life than the way we currently do. (neighbours at arms length.. family in another town...). No telly ? No MacDo's ? Learning about the real world in which we live ? Plants, birds... animals.. seasons...medicine...health.. peace .. love...and living in a hopefully fulfilling way.
Or is it about back-breaking toil.. arguments over who's turn it is to milk the goat?
