Community Action
We’ve identified nine areas in which effective community action can be taken: food security, water security, practical water solutions, energy self-sufficiency, do-it-yourself support, a free/re-store, local reuse and recycling, transportation, and fundraising. These action teams have identified and completed numerous specific projects, and many are underway. Other projects are in the planning stages, and still others await focused discussion, refinement, or funds. Use the links below to explore any of our action teams and their projects in more detail.
