Another place to try is the communities discussion list
called: ECOBALANCE
http://www.gaia.org/lists/ecobalance.html
I'm changing ISP's and shuffling my intenet connections so
don't know the present state of Ecobalacne. It is a topic
that interests me though. If we are to live sustainability
then one area needing work is personal and social
interaction. History shows continuous squabbles and a long
list of tyrants who find a path to power. Governments become
entrenched and have little interest in change and cultural
programming tends to maintain the status quo. Probably our
best source of information is from diverse intentional
communities that document their results and problems.
