"For me, the marvelous thing about what I see happening here is that, what we have, as far as I’m concerned, is we have a community already. We’re just trying to figure out how to actually find a place for that community to live. And that has happened, in my mind, over the last 12 months, as we’ve been going through all these other things.

"We’ve had other crises in the past. And I think our response to this one is very telling, because we’re behaving as though the given is the community. We’ve got the community, and the variable is how do we figure out how to build the place for the community to live. And that just lightens up my heart – there’s this group of people who wants to live together so badly that we’re going through this stuff to figure out how to make it happen." ~ Russ

To Make the World a Better Place...


My dream for TREE is that more children join.  I want to do fun activities, and raise money for good causes by doing jobs throughout EcoVillage.  I want to have a bakesale, paint pictures and sell them, pick up garbage somewhere and get money to give to a charity.  I want to host a book club in a tent with flashlights and really excellent books.  I appreciate how people at EVI are against fracking and are kind to the Earth. ~Kylie (7)

  1. Even though I'm old, the little girl inside me gets really excited about ALL the things you've suggested for children. I hope we get more children at TREE, too, so you can do all these things and more.
