Meeting Agenda.
Matt has been a busy beaver doing up this page: http://zeitgeist90.livejournal.com/729.html
I have recently been researching Food Forests. I am very excited about food forests to say the least. So excited, I rang the Permaculture Research Institute and had a great half hour chat the other day with the Director, Geoff Lawton. What they are doing there at PRI is definitely on the same page as the Zeitgeist Movement (he has heard of it). I told him he has a large piece of the puzzle with regards to the RBE (resource based economy).
I will be explaining more about this at Saturday’s meeting.
Gary and Stina’s Eco Village project on the border of Queanbeyan and Canberra is finally going ahead after a 30 year wait. Not the original plan, which interestingly enough looked very similar to Jacque’s building designs, but a nice energy efficient project none the less – double glassing, solar hot water, North facing, etc. Done by people who actually know what they are doing, not just talking about it. Their site is here: http://andrewlian.com/integratedecovillages/
We will also go over where to proceed from here on in.
