Dallas area co-housing

[chelidon]

For my Dallas Tejas area friends, this came across on one of the lists I'm on. I don't know these people, but I'll pass on the info. There's a new co-housing/sustainable living group in New England that I'm involved with, in case anyone out this way is interested.

Subject: Dallas area eco-village/co-housing group forming

FYI. Some folks in Dallas are getting together
this weekend to talk about forming
eco-villages/co-housing projects in the Dallas
area. Below is an email from one of the
organizers, and the link tells more about the
group. It was originally posted in the
Crosstimbers Food Cooperative listserv.
