I get many updates about various events in the Bay Area and around the world to promote ecological consciousness. However, one about a emerging ecovillage called Oakmass Village struck me, particularly since it is the first time I ever heard of a ecovillage located in a former mobile home park. I am inspired by their approach and so I have taken some of their ideas from a announcement about their presentation they are today from 6;30-9:30 at the Green City Gallery in Berkeley and evolved there below.
Of possible relevance is a recent blog post I did about a colleague Steve Bosserman who is working on a wiki to explore the development of kits to build ecologically responsible Park Homes which he calls Micro-Houses (park homes like mobile homes are pre-assembled in manufacturing facilities).
Also noteworthy in July they posted a job opening at the Regenerative Design website (no deadline date for applying). The Oakmoss Village website is here but I did not much there. This seems to indicate that the project is still relatively early in the development stage.
