Talk:Purpose

From EcoReality

As James and I found in the Coop Guide, the Purpose statement for our Memorandum should be clear, concise and a single sentence. It would be useful if we discuss the following as a more concise version to replace on the Memorandum the current Purpose (from guidance docs) in point form.

The Purpose of the Cooperative is to establish and maintain an ecovillage community in the South Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada. The primary mission of the Cooperative is to educate each other and the public about the imperative and implementation of sustainable living systems through participation in the creation of a sustainable ecovillage lifestyle. The Cooperative will support its mission with the use of compassionate communication and written process, consensus decision-making, principles of ecology, permaculture, non-violence, educational tools and other such activities as are necessary and desirable for these purposes.
