What is this all about?

I am interested in reducing waste and reducing energy consumption in my life while living in a more integrated and social community. I would also like to share my knowledge of the subject and help others live more sustainably. In pursuit of these goals, I have created this group to bring together people with varying levels of interest and skills so that we may learn from each other, help eachother and hopefully achieve some goals.

You do not need to be a vegetarian, drive a hybrid or be an expert gardener to join this group! Trust me, I have a long way to go before I am living in a "green" fashion (as I drive a big truck!), but I am passionate about making steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. I feel this is very important and this social club provides a great opportunity to advance the movement!

I have not yet put all the pieces of the puzzle together on just how this group will function or what will be involved but I would like to learn something new, help others, meet new people and have fun while trying to save the planet!

Comment by Morgan Surkin on February 25, 2011 at 12:43pm: I would love a plot in Portland too.

Comment by Andrew Burke on February 23, 2011 at 9:15pm: We should, I did not love my garden properly last year so I need to redeem myself. Maybe we can get a plot in Portland this year.

Comment by Morgan Surkin on February 23, 2011 at 3:25pm: Hey Andrew, any thoughts on doing a garden again this year? That was a lot of fun, and Sawyer's talking about it already!

Comment by Kara Sprague on June 13, 2010 at 8:46pm: good work!

Comment by Morgan Surkin on June 11, 2010 at 12:04pm: Sounds like a great plan, I have to meet Lindsay at the Boot Camp Studio on Rt. 1 in Scarborough at 10 for re-measurements, but that should only take 10-15 minutes. Let's say 8:30a at your place. Can you message me your address?

Comment by Andrew Burke on June 11, 2010 at 11:46am: Does anyone else want to partake in the gardening adventure tomorrow?

Comment by Andrew Burke on June 11, 2010 at 11:45am: I just talked to my coworker and we are good to go for tomorrow! His name is Matt and his wife's name is Mora. Matt has extra seedlings to offer us, so let's see what he has and if we want to plant some other items, the Scarborough farmers market is three minutes from his house. It sounds like Matt and Mora have a little bit of experience and can give us a few pointers. I believe our place is on your way to Scarborough, so how about we meet at my place. 8:30? 9?

Comment by Morgan Surkin on June 11, 2010 at 10:10am: Awesome Andrew, once you let us know if he's still in, maybe we should meet up at the Deering Oaks Farmer's Market to stock up then head over to get it going! I don't know much about actual gardening, so far we only have herbs in containers in our windows, but I'm really excited! I know Sawyer would have fun playing in the dirt, I don't know about Dave though...:)
