 Our Values, Living Our Hope Building Sustainable Lifestyles in Seattle Intentional Communities. Diss. U of Washington, 2012.
Sustainable consumption and the sustainable use of resources is a growing concern as negative environmental impacts such as carbon emissions, overuse of natural resources, and degradation of non-renewable resource stocks continue to rise. Disproportionate consumption by Northern countries and particularly the United States is the cause of both negative environmental impacts and environmental justice problems. Therefore changing consumption practices of the North is seen as a necessary solution. Unfortunately, most strategies to reduce consumption in the North have failed. Questions remain about what sustainable consumption looks like and how it might be implemented. This dissertation examines the sustainable consumption practices of urban communities, in Seattle, Washington, USA Through ethnographic case studies and the quantitative analysis of consumption in two intentional communities, this research examines factors that led those communities to consume more sustainably. Intentional communities are groups of people, including unrelated adults, who share their lives (and in this case housing) according to a shared set of values and goals. The communities in this study lived in single-family housing and shared the values and goals of environmental sustainability and social justice. Quantitative methods included weighing garbage, surveying consumption, and analyzing utility bills. Most notably the communities were able to reduce their consumption by 70-75% of US averages through choices made in waste reduction, water consumption, and miles driven. Ethnographic research methods included semi-structured and unstructured interviews, and participant observation such as attending community meetings and events and participating in the labor structure of the communities. This dissertation demonstrates that intentional communities, as common property institutions, are effectively generating social structures that facilitate sustainable lifestyles through four major strategies: 1) adopting an alternative habitus and building more sustainable cultural capital; 2) creating new institutions, most significantly common property institutions; 3) working together to provide systems of provisioning through collective economics; and 4) founding individual, collective, and institutional practices on a very specific set of beliefs and values, or worldview, that emphasizes egalitarianism, social justice, and the environment. In conclusion, this analysis suggests that a biocentric paradigm alone is insufficient to produce sustainable practices.
I saw this cover the other day on S.M. Boyce's blog and fell in love immediately. Yes, I'm averse to the standard girl-in-dress cover...but this is anything but. The pose has enough pathos alone, but then you have the violence of the splashing water, the stormy clouds, and her unnaturally twisted body literally disintegrating into butterflies. If that doesn't catch your attention, then... you're silly. Not to mention, the manipulation is done very cleanly with a great high res image. Kudos.
While we're on the subject of vampires, here's a cover that appeared at the end of the movie adaptation for Interview with a Vampire. Guns n' Roses does an excellent version of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" with some added bayou flavor for the New Orleans setting of the movie. Always have loved this.
Thank you so much for the compliment!!!
But of course! I can't let a pretty cover go un-praised.I will preface by saying my husband and I stayed here a couple months before our May stay, and were pleased. Hence our desire to stay again. In semi-short. Our reservation was lost. The fellow checking us in had no interest in our confirmation number. We were way over charged. Still working to get these charges removed. This hotel charges... moreI use the Contact Form 7 Datepicker plugin to get consistency across all browsers with the same looking datepicker, and a UK date format for date entry. However this is giving console errors in Chrome.
Without it, Firefox and IE don’t get a date picker, Edge has its own poor scroll down, and Chrome looks the better but with a button to the right of the field to access it. Its also impossible to get UK date format consistently across all browsers, of the HTML5 date format either. Some browsers pick up the PC date format others don’t. It’s basically a real mess!
Can I suggest that the function of the Datepicker plugin is included as standard in contact form 7, to avoid this situation, so that its updated and does not produce errors.
