Hi all --
I'm looking for specific info on WalMart and their anti-environmental,
anti-human, profit centered practices. Does anyone have suggestions
for
where i would get such? Thanks, Gwendolyn
Hi--There is a website called the International Bulldozer Blockade that
has some Wal-mart info on it, plus some excellent anti-sprawl info:

You are right, cheryl, about there being a good topic here that we
shouldn't let get "get caught up in the politics of the vehicle".
I think it's safe to say that most intentional communities (IC) and
all ecovillages(EV) are trying to take patriarchy out of their (and our)
society or at least feel that they are involved in this struggle. Most
communities have worked hard on this, but i wouldn't say its "going out of
their way". I think the search for balance,and fairness, with each other
and with the rest of nature, is the engine that drives the movement
towards intentional community and ecologically sustainable villages.
I believe that the small, largely self sufficient community will be
a major componant of a future society that is true to ecological and
feminist ideals. I like your term "green village" a lot better than
"ecovillage", and i think we have a right to insist that any community
calling itself either of these is working towards ecological and feminist
ideals.
