Hey y'all! Today, let's chat about Community Building for Sustainability. Building a strong community is key to creating a sustainable way of living. It's all about coming together, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other on the journey to a greener future. 🌱 Here are some tips to foster community building for sustainability: 1. Host regular potlucks or skill-sharing gatherings to connect with like-minded folks in your area. Food always brings people together! 2. Create a community garden or participate in a local CSA to work towards a common goal of growing fresh, organic produce. 3. Organize clean-up events to take care of the environment and strengthen community bonds at the same time. 🌍 Let's work hand in hand to build a sustainable future for all! #CommunityBuilding #Sustainability #GreenLiving

We recognise the vital role that sustainable living spaces play in enhancing both our communities and our well-being. This year, as we celebrate World Habitat Day, we’re reminded of the importance of creating environments that foster connection, safety, and growth. Why Habitat Matters: 1. Quality of Life: Safe and sustainable habitats contribute to better health, education, and overall quality of life. 2. Community Engagement: Strong communities thrive in well-planned spaces that encourage interaction and collaboration. 3. Sustainability: Investing in eco-friendly practices helps protect our planet for future generations. Let’s commit to building and supporting habitats that not only meet today’s needs but also pave the way for a sustainable tomorrow. #WorldHabitatDay #BarclayMeade #Sustainability #CommunityDevelopment

Hey folks! 🎉 Let's chat about how building a strong community can supercharge our sustainability efforts! There's something magical about coming together, sharing resources, and learning from each other to create more eco-friendly, self-reliant lifestyles. Here are some quick tips to get you started with community building for sustainability: 1️⃣ Start small by organizing local meetups or online groups where folks can share their green living experiences, swap seeds, or even veggies. It's all about learning from each other's journeys! 2️⃣ Partner up with local businesses and farmers. Support from the local economy not only helps you but strengthens your whole community. Think zero waste, locally-sourced, and friendly faces. 3️⃣ Engage everyone—including those with ADHD—by encouraging short, focused sessions for activities like gardening or crafts. Keeping things achievable and fun ensures everyone feels involved and enthusiastic. 4️⃣ Use tech to foster connections, like setting up a group chat for eco-tips or updates on community gardening days. It's low effort, high impact for sustainability networking. Together, we can build thriving communities that support the planet and each other. Let's make sustainable living a shared adventure! 🌿 #SustainableCommunity #EcoLiving #NatureTherapy Stream our classes on Tuesdays at 9:45 PM ET for more on sustainability and nature therapy. 🌿 Check us out at mavisfarmacy.com.

Creating a virtual farm tour was definitely a game-changer for me! 🌱 It not only saved me hours of walking each new guest around to know where all the facilities are but also made it easier for guests to retain what I was sharing with them, since they could watch it on their own time and replay parts that were unclear. Virtual tours allow you to share your passion and knowledge with a much wider audience, bringing your message to those who might never be able to step foot on your farm👣 It can be a powerful tool for building community, educating, and inspiring others to adopt sustainable practices. Plus, it frees up more of your time to focus on what truly matters—growing, nurturing, and living the permaculture lifestyle 🌿 💬Have you tried a virtual approach to sharing your project? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!💬 If you haven't started yet, here's a beginner's guide to creating a virtual farm tour in 7 easy steps.

Community involvement is key to creating sustainable urban environments. 🌱🏙️ As our cities continue to grow, so do the challenges of urbanization on our environment. The impact is undeniable, from increased air and water pollution to habitat destruction. But together, we can make a difference! Here's how you can contribute: Participate in Community Initiatives: Get involved in local environmental organizations, volunteer for clean-up events, and support community-driven initiatives focused on sustainable urban development. When we work together, we can create greener, cleaner, and more sustainable cities for all. 💚 #CommunityAction #SustainableUrbanization #Environment #GetInvolved

THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE Strength in numbers. During a dinner conversation, friends Butch Whitfield, a realtor at Harry Norman Realtors; Liz Lapidus, founder of Liz Lapidus Strategic Communications; and Johanna Ellis-Reisinger, former owner of Atlanta Classic Cars began discussing their favorite nonprofits and how to enhance their impact. “Our goal was to develop a shared vision to guide the region’s conservation efforts,” says Whitfield. The result was Root Local that began with polling 250 environmental groups to test their interest. “We got responses from all the six sectors we identified: food systems, air and water quality management, canopy and land management, green buildings and practices, sustainable fashion and products, and travel and transportation,” says Whitfield. Using those replies, they developed a Network Map, a Collective Impact Plan and The Pollinator Network where online community members and organizations can come together to share ideas and learn how to become better stewards of the environment. “Interested citizens can register online and choose the sector that interests them most, whether its green buildings or sustainable fashion,” Whitfield says. Root Local acts as a conduit for them to support one another’s events through cross promotion and participation, and networking to find ways to work together. “Another Root Local goal is to create a template to share with other cities who want to increase their environmental impact by working together,” says Whitfield. 📝Mickey Goodman @rootlocal404 ROOT LOCAL rootlocal.org #TheRootOfTheIssue #CommunityImpact #CollectiveAction #EnvironmentalStewardship #ConservationEfforts #RootLocal #SustainableLiving #EnvironmentalAwareness
