Cob House at Dancing Rabbit on the cover of Yes! Magazine

Yes! magazine has an article and slideshow on one of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage‘s cob houses.

The article is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Yes! on Resilency.

The slideshow includes an excerpt from Brian (Ziggy) Liloia’s Cob House blog:

I live at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, an intentional community in Northeast Missouri devoted to sustainable living. We have a few ecological covenants that members agree to live by, but beyond those guidelines (one states that all energy must come from renewable sources, and another that says all lumber must come from reclaimed or sustainable sources), it is up to members to decide how they want to live. There is nothing stating that members must eat only local food, or that they can only drive some number of miles in a vehicle per year – members make choices based on their own ecological values, under the umbrella of the ecological covenants.

Read a bit online about the Cob House.

For a while, peer-to-peer lending platforms were going to be the next big thing. Instead of borrowing from big banks, we could borrow from each other, on platforms like Lending Club and Prosper. But pretty soon big banks starting getting involved, and the loans weren’t really so “peer-to-peer” af…
