Kit Jones	Saturday 19 May 2007 12:07:13 am How to change? I really like what Level Headed put in their blurb: "communities need to work together in groups rather than a few odd individuals doing their part for society" How do you recon we can do that? Any ideas?
Nikki Tomkins	Sunday 20 May 2007 2:59:16 pm How to change.. We need to target the places where the community comes together, don't we? For example, my brothers school is being rebuilt. So me and him are planning how we can get the governers board to sit up, pay attention, and make the new school really sustainable. That gets people listening, parents involved, media coverage et voila a community is working toward a sustainable future. If we all use our channels of influence, we can make a difference. Through our Schools, Unis, art centres, events, we can really get the message out there. We can communicate with our community, and work together. Be the change you want to see in the world
Rohan Orton	Wednesday 04 July 2007 2:37:40 pm Forever Changes.. "communities need to work together in groups rather than a few odd individuals doing their part for society" I think this is really good blurb as well. Where I'm living at the moment we are trying to set up a community group looking at making a vegetable garden at the bottom of our street. It's not really much at all, but it opens up opportunities to get the street working together and thinking together. Opens up possibilities of wholefood coops, car pooling (yuck), bike workshops, eco skill sharing. Maybe soon we'll even have our own streetwide solar and wind gens up and running, who knows. "We need to target the places where the community comes together, don't we?" I think this is very true. But I think that it is also a case that quite a few things that we currently do as individuals would benefit a great deal, both environmentally and socially, if we did them as groups/communities. For example food coops, community cooking, or living in shared housing/housing coop. Heehee I'm sounding like a pinko commie :P
