[Green-Trust Off Grid] Al McMahon - Autonomous Housing
Hello,
It has been a while since we have had activity with this program and I am sorry.
This is a long term program.
Here are a few of the connections that I have been able to keep going during this quiet time
1) Green Drinks in Syracuse. A meeting of people who are builders, architects, students and designers that meet on the 3rd Thursday every month at Colemans to talk about common interests. These groups exist in many cities in New York. (further?)
2) Ithaca Green Hub. A group of green leaning individuals using the excellent resources in Ithaca to create a place where individuals and businesses can come and actually learn how to go green and have access and training to new materials and programs. A real starting point!
3) Some students are resubmitting the paperwork to SUNY Oswego for recognition of Autonomous Housing as a student group this semester and we are looking to engage on a deeper level then before. With students driving this it will gain momentum.
In addition Jim Juczak, Dick Degraff, the land trust and Steve Spence are wonderful resources of people and places where we can get hands on experiences and see real world applications of the ideas we are looking at!!
This is not a short term project and I do wish I had kept communications going more frequently. I appreciate your understanding and I will work at keeping more data flowing. I am looking at doing a blog but I want to keep the email communications up as well.
One of the things missing is a complete calendar of greenish events in Central NY and a way to plot the resources we have available. It is a project I want to work on over this winter.
We are moving the pieces of the Yurt from Fulton to Jim's Saturday. If anybody would like to help with this project pleeeeaaase let us know.
Thanks again, and please email me to let me know you are still getting these!
Best Regards.
