Our little family (made up of John, Samantha and 3 year old Taran) has been on the journey with Lyndall and David for a good while now! Plus we’ve been into Sustainability for a long time. John (Talbott) was the Director of the Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland for over 2 decades, Sam (Graham) has been designing Sustainability Education programmes since she did her Masters in Human Ecology in Edinburgh back in 1992, and Taran, well, he’s been an advocate for a long time. Two recent quotes from Taran: “The traffic disappoints me” and “I will have to put block-out on my ears. They might burn because they don’t have doors.” So he has been way into Sustainability and protecting precious assets from the get-go.
We are most excited about the Sydney Coastal Ecovillage because the people it is attracting are very inspiring, the location – so close to Sydney – is ideal, and the process Lyndall and David are hosting is exceptionally good.
Our high dream for the Ecovillage – that it attracts the necessary funding in the first 6 months of 2010 and we can get on with the next phase!! Let’s sound the note and attract the right people. Allons Y! (Let’s Go!!!).
