Sustainable Living in Community

December 23, 2009

twin_oaksPictured above is one of many community buildings at Twin Oaks Intentional Community. (I used to live there.) Mandy and Ryan took this photo, and I had to share their story. They just finished traveling to sustainable communities around the United States and are making a documentary about it. They call it bike-packing, because they did 6,000 miles traveling by bicycle (and their gear is solar powered). I can’t wait to see the film! Make a donation to their project.

We are big fans of Twin Oaks. We have purchased two of their hammock products and always buy their tofu from our local co-op. Neither their hammocks or tofu can be beat!! Thanks for spreading the Twin Oaks-love.

Thanks Jerry! I’ve always got Oaker love to go around.

aha! fairly new to blogging, i have stumbled across yours since i started my own last year – i have lived in many a tiny greeny house in my time, the one you pictured in todays post included. Funny, the synapse delay as the realisation sunk in. I used to live there too. Thanks for putting tiny house out there. I have had a link on my blog to you for awhile now. growmama.blogspot.com
much love – anissa
