Dancing Rabbit in Charlottesville - Friday December 7th
Published: Thu, 12/06/12
Hello Dancing Rabbit Supporters,
We wanted to invite you to an upcoming Dancing Rabbit event, and also ask for your help in promoting the event to your friends. Consider sending this to friends or to the mailing list of a group you think might be interested.
December 7 at 7:00pm at Random Row Books in Charlottesville, VA
Dancing Rabbit member, Ted Sterling, will give a slideshow and talk at Random Row Books in Charlottesville, VA.
Our society is wrestling with questions of sustainability and climate change, with many groups working towards a sustainable future. At Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage that sustainable future is here now. If you want to see what sustainability looks like, come join us for a slideshow from two members of one of the world's foremost experiments in real world ecological living. Over the last 15 years Dancing Rabbit has built over 30 energy-efficient homes using reclaimed lumber and natural building methods such as strawbale and cob. By reducing electricity use to less than 10% of the American norm, the village is now a net exporter of renewable energy. Three vehicles are shared among the 75 residents, who drive only 7% of the US average. Food production is integrated into the design of the pedestrian-scale village. Cooperation, a strong gift economy, and a vibrant alternative currency support the economic stability of the community. Natural ecosystems are preserved and restored on the community's 280-acre land trust. Sustainability is not just a dream. We are doing it now.
Ted Sterling lives with his family at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, a community demonstrating sustainable living in northeast Missouri, where 70+ residents have reduced their ecological impact on key metrics by over 90%. Ted is on the Board of Directors of Dancing Rabbit, Inc., the nonprofit arm of the organization, whose mission is to create a sustainable society that will grow to have the size and recognition necessary to influence the global community. He is also a natural builder, a gardener, an orchardist, and a member of the Land Use Planning and Policy Committee, responsible for ensuring that Dancing Rabbit's land continues to thrive and support a diversity of living things, while also allowing for a vibrant human settlement to grow and meet its needs sustainably into the future.
