i want to live in chew magna

[piranha]

or in a place like it. or in a place that would like to become like it. i'd love to be part of a community that works together like this. i'd be willing to work hard to help bring it about. but i am not the kind of person who starts a movement from scratch; i'm not social enough. and i have been slacking badly in my personal life. so, i would need to be looking long-term for a place in BC that has a fair number of like-minded people. nanaimo is way too large.

Go Zero is a community project based in Chew Magna that raises awareness of the environmental and social impact of our everyday actions and provides suggestions for change towards a zero waste society.

It offers affordable and sustainable solutions to reduce and conserve resources and energy, to contract our carbon footprint, and to brighten the lives of the community while recognizing our responsibilities to encourage others throughout the world to do likewise.

Well,we're heading that way here at the co-op, between the city's efforts and our own needs to reduce real running expenses. It's not easy. It requires quite a bit of thinking through and planning to keep it affordable, but once in progress, it gets easier as you go along.

My next career? Facilitator fer hire. :)
