| Many of you know the Amish do not drive cars. Recently I found the same is true of conservative Mennonites in various places, including Belize! What can be learned from these existing, successful, and growing communities of carfree people? What follows are some notes and links for consideration/discussion. | |||||

Living where there are no cars | Document | 2003-06-03 | 2003-06-03 | 2003-06-03 |
| Some thoughts on living where there are no cars using primitive skills and a nomadic lifestyle in the Eastern United States. In particular, the C&O canal (180 miles of beautiful carfreeness), the Appalachian Trail (Maine to Georgia, & intersects with the canal), and the intercoastal waterway (Norfolk, VA to Florida). Also, links to finding animal/humanpower farms to work on, until I find a better place to put them. | |||||

Propaganda born of a focus on the radical personal change necessary to create a sustainable global society | Document | 2003-06-13 | 2005-04-26 | 2003-06-13 |
| The old title was "Voluntary Holocaust Participation Manual draft 1." I tired of seeing that under the ecovillage topic. Here's the original description: I've been trying to think of different angles on supporting fervent efforts to create ecomonasteries. This is one attempt. Please contact me if you'd like to assist, or be on the board of directors. | |||||

Carfree zionism? | Document | 2003-06-23 | 2003-06-23 | 2003-06-23 |
| It seem like no one (not even I) wishes to encourage other carfree people to move to their town. An exception may be Portland? Perhaps a car-free zionist movement would excite us more. | |||||

"Asheville Band Travels Through North Carolina on Bikes" and The ACRC Recyclery | Document | 2003-09-01 | 2005-06-13 | 2003-09-01 |
| Bands seeking to leave the car behind on their tours keep popping up. Pete (stickerguy.com) has a label he's been trying to get to tour car-free. Well these guys (the deadthings) have actually done it! Not only that but they help run the Recyclery at the Asheville Community Resource Center on Lexington Street in dowtown Asheville. If you need to do some work on your bike, stop in there and volunteer and I'm pretty sure they'll let you use their tools. | |||||

How to bicycle into New Orleans | Document | 2003-09-21 | 2008-03-05 | 2003-09-21 |
| On the adventure cycling southern route, there isn't a spur into New Orleans. Since I'm not yet canoing / kayaking, this page is for information on bicycling into and out of New Orleans. Google searches did not help me find which bridges into New Orleans can be cycled, so perhaps this page will change that. (Another city that could use a page like this is NYC / Staten Island, though adventure cycling has a route for that) | |||||
