Building community
Green Bean Dreams had a great post this week about building community. It's all fine and dandy to do what we can in our own lives to reduce our impact, but at a certain point we need to reach out to others, to support each other and to build community. But building community...well, it's hard.Some suggestions from Green Bean Dreams include planting a garden in your front yard, getting a carpool together for school, setting up a cocktail table in the cul de sac and putting together an email list for the neighborhood.
Here are some other ideas:
- Check out Meetup.com for environmental/green groups in your area.
- Conversation Cafe can hook you up with a structured group focused on hosting "open, respectful, public conversations."
- Explore the Holistic Moms Network.
- Work with your child's school to help green it.
- Host a Green Cleaning Party, sponsored by Women's Voices for the Earth.
