Sharing Sustainable Solutions is a non-profit, non commercial site to help individuals and communities move towards self-sustainability, self-reliance, and autonomy. It is a nexus point for communities, ecological, appropiate technology, alternative technology, low-tech, mutual cooperation, to meet and share information, ideas, and projects to make living in harmony with nature and one another a reality. To celebrate the ingenious solutions that already abound. To build the vision we long for now. 

To become more effective, it depends now on the input of others, to build the kind of information that will help make self-sustainability more and more feasible for more and more people.

Spring has finally arrived! It snowed today. The winds are hitting heavy here along the borderline (www.vlierhof.org).

Time for renewal and growth. I am looking for a community set in beautiful nature, where self-sustainability is a priority as well as beautiful connections and joyfulness, outside of USA. If anyone knows of one (hopefully, that speaks english), please let me know.

My young friends in Brasil are beginning to work on a community project set in the forests and mountains. It will take some time to get that going, since they are mostly students.

With financial world collapse looming, starting with the USA, one can feel the pressure to find a sustainable community deep in nature. And all the other man-made problems that beset the planet makes one wish that the community movement was a lot stronger. It is difficult to find a community (www.fic.ic.org) outside the USA which is truly viable and strong. There are a few, but only seemingly a few.

Living in community is much more difficult than it would seem. We seem to be so ill-prepared for really deeply connecting. Perhaps, I am only speaking for myself. It is taking me forever to achieve a high enough skill level in non violent communication (www.cnvc.org) to help create those kind of deep heart to heart connections and to help resolve issues that arrise inevitably in communities. I hope those that empathize with my statements feel free to contact me.

Warmly,
