[Dialogue] McKibben & Life and Death for the Planet

[Carol Crow]

We at Songaia have seen Bill McKibben's speech from the National  
CoHousing Association gathering in Boulder in June.  We have an active  
group working towards several efforts for 10-10-10.  More info to you  
as it materializes!  Patricia Newkirk is the co-convener here.

In Community,
Carol
