[April 29th] The Host Talk - Sustainability

Adicionar um título (2).png

 

Hey everyone,

 

After the CC social’s success, a few members have shared their desire to have a new type of online get-together where we could have more Hosting focused conversations.

 

With that in mind, we have decided to give your idea a go! 😊

 

Apart from the Social meet-up, we now have The Host Talk, a Community Center meeting for sharing and discussing pre-chosen Hosting related topics. 

 

We plan on giving you guys the chance to vote on your preferred subjects in the future, but to kick things off, this first session will have the theme of Sustainability.🐛

 

@Anna1403 , our sustainability focused HAB member, will be joining the conversation with fellow hosts who are interested in sharing their experience and coming up with insights for a more sustainable way of Hosting.

 

The meet-up will take place on Thursday April 29th, 3:30PM (BST).

 

Timezones:

Thursday April 29th, 9:30AM (Kansas City / Pensacola, Florida)

Thursday April 29th, 10:30AM (New York / Toronto)

Thursday April 29th, 4:30PM  (Spain)

Thursday April 29th, 11:30PM (Seoul)

Friday April 30th, 00:00 AM (Darwin)

Friday April 30th, 00:30 AM (Melbourne)

I’m really looking forward to chatting with you 💚

 

Thanks a lot and I’ll see you there!

Many thanks for the question @Liv . I'm happy to go with the flow but also to declare that I very much hope to advance a small project towards off-grid living.  So I'd love any discussions around this notion.

I'm also very interested in the politics of micro-generation.

Many years ago I trained as an electrician, specifically to undertake house wiring (but also some electronics) and since reading a book entitled "Construire an Eolien" that has remained a fantasy!!

Has anyone in the group built any off-grid generation structures?

@Mary996   Hi......You may like to check out YouTube for any ideas on furthering your off-grid living, if you haven't already.  There's several really good channels on there.

Thanks @Wende2 

Have done that in the past... will update myself but curious about others here if anyone has an active system on the go?

What about you? Any particular leanings in the sustainability sphere?

@Mary996   At this time I have solar panels and recycle, that's about it.  I'm hoping to move, hopefully soon, planning to go tiny with both a place for me and ABnB.  I'm not into a composting toilet but yrs ago I lived in a house that had a toilet that was a burner system like on a yacht, that's something I'm going to look into when the time comes.

Wonderful! Two tiny houses is a great idea.

I admire you. 

Also thinking of something small scale but nothing in anyway firm as yet!

@Wende2 ... above sorry ...was forgetting the tag !

@Mary996   I was wondering what that message

was about when I read it in my email.

Oh, that's amazing @Wende2! I love tiny houses.

If you're up for sharing your move with the CC when the time comes, I'd love to read about it 😊

@Liv   I would be happy to share.  I found the prefect 3.5 acres, now I'm hoping planning and zoning will allow converting some really nice sheds into living space, and all that goes with it.  It's nothing but land, but oh so wonderful.
