Would you like to meet with neighbors and discuss ideas about how we can make Bolton a more sustainable place to live and build a vibrant community in the face of challenges from a faltering economy, climate change, and fossil fuel depletion?

How can we find more local solutions for food supply, energy, and transportation that will benefit all of us in an uncertain economy?

Today’s challenges bring with them opportunities to build community through shared experiences in areas such as:

Learning to make our homes more energy-efficient
Learning about alternative energy solutions
Learning skills related to gardening and raising animals
Learning to prepare and preserve locally grown food
Learning fiber arts -spinning, knitting and crocheting, felting, etc.
Supporting local farmers, orchards and businesses
Being better prepared for an emergency
Creating transportation solutions to help minimize our impact on the environment

Only after the last tree has been cut down.

Only after the last river has been poisoned.

Only after the last fish has been caught.

Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
