Flagstaff Post Carbon Outpost (Arizona)

Where are you, Flagstaff?

Hello. I have been online looking for information on groups in Northern Arizona who are interested in issues regarding sustainability.
I am currently residing in Montana, where I participate in a discussion group centered around sustainability/post carbon topics. I will be relocating to the Flagstaff area and would like to continue my exploration and education as well as get to know some like-minded people.

I've been involved with ecovillage creation and development, and am still very interested in the possibility of living in community with others who value a strong environmental focus in the context of nurturing social relationships and sustainable life practices.

I see plenty of evidence that there are quite a few people in the Flagstaff area who have similar goals, but I don't see a lot of organization or movement toward the further defining or fruition of those goals.
I'd like to see if we can generate enough interest to form a core discussion group which may eventually move into local activism and/or community building.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, ideas or suggestions.

Post Carbon Living

You’ve seen The End of Suburbia.
You’ve heard the warnings about the disastrous effects of climate change.
Now what???

Lisa Rayner offers practical solutions for moving toward a more sustainable post-carbon lifestyle. This four-hour workshop will explore the transition on multiple levels:

1. Efficiency: doing more with less using energy efficient appliances, fuel efficient vehicles and water conservation strategies.
2. Powerdown: a serious effort to reduce your use of energy for transportation, home heating and electricity use, rainwater collection, gray water reuse and more
3. Self-reliance: unhooking yourself from the global economy and learning to do more for yourself, such as growing and preserving food, using renewable energy, learning basic skills like bicycle repair and sewing and unhooking yourself from the wage slave economy.
4. Community: helping to relocalize the Flagstaff economy through cooperation with your neighbors, including creating a local food system, supporting local businesses, making Flagstaff a safer place to walk and bicycle, cohousing, car sharing, neighborhood tool libraries and community currencies.

How do you envision yourself living in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? What changes have you already made? What changes seem daunting to you? Discuss your efforts to shift towards a post carbon way of life and make Flagstaff a better place to live with your neighbors who share your vision.

Workshop facilitator Lisa Rayner is the coordinator of the Flagstaff Post Carbon Outpost, a permaculture instructor at Coconino Community College and the author of Growing Food in the Southwest Mountains.

Is there really only such a small number of people in Arizona who have yet come to this?
