What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...
- MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
- Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
- Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
- Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
- See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
- New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.
- Experiment by clicking on TOP NEWS vs ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SHARE in the center column -- two types of Latest Activity.
Eco-community
I'm not sure how many of you here are familiar with Kickstarter or earthships, but this post involves both of those.
http://www.kickstarter.com/
http://www.earthship.com/
In brief, Kickstarter is a fund-raising site, an earthships are a type of off-grid home that capture their own water, grow their own food, treat their own sewage, and generate their own energy.
I'm in the very beginning stages of putting together a Kickstarter page to create an earthship community. Right now, I'm not sure where it will be located, as I don't know where my wife and I are going to be living long-term, but since we currently live in Marquette, that's where I'm focusing my efforts right now.
Is this the sort of thing that might get some traction here?

Hi Jeremy,
I too am interested in starting an eco community and building an earthship. I have been thinking about this for a couple of years now. Have you been on an earthship build yet or to their training site?

I have not been able to see an earthship in person yet. I'm hoping to attend the Earthship Academy Sept. 1-Oct. 31, 2012. I just need to save up the money to do it.
