Awesome post; welcome to Steemit! I've been on the Dancing Rabbit mailing list for years now and am excited to see what you'll be sharing with the community here. Cheers!

Hey RP, that's great! Do you plan to come to our Open House on Sept 10th?

FYI, I live at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage as well. I'm hoping @therealdeal and I can get enough traction with Steemit that we can convince our community to accept Steemit.com. We have a local currency that is accepted for everything that you could want to buy in the community such as rent, food, transportation expenses, etc. I think it is a real possibility we could get Steemit to be just as widely accepted.

Greetings!
So GRATEFUL to read this post. It is very rare to find people running their own "business" and even far more rare to find people living sustainably and in community!
I know A LOT about both of these things as I haven't had a job/boss in 15 years nor paid taxes or bought stuff at stores. I also founded @gardenofeden a sustainable community with the lowest carbon footprint in the country.
Our life is truly awesome not just because we are healthy and happy but we are improving the world around us every day influencing thousands.
I will be following you on here as I feel we will have much in common to share/discuss and appreciate~

Hey Quinneaker, thanks for touching base! Your community sounds awesome.

Can you give me some insight into how Garden of Eden knows it has the lowest carbon footprint?

Well no one really knows anything. Though I have not seen an organization of ANY kind with a lower carbon footprint. Its somewhat of a lengthy math equation but simple math none the less. All one has to do it calculate the carbon footprint of every action, resources used, etc.

inspirational - looking forward to more

Thanks Penelope. For now, I'll probably be posting once a day or so.

Welcome to Steemit! I hope this proves to be a good use of your time.

That goes double for you. ;)

I quit my office job 9 months ago to pursue a new life and exciting dreams here in southern Chile, and I haven't looked back since. Sustainability is a big interest of mine so I look forward to reading your experiences!

Welcome to our Steemit community! :)

Thanks for checking in Tmendieta - do you know of any permaculture projects happening in Chile right now?

No problem, therealdeal. I have a friend here in Valdivia who's really into permaculture and knows lots of people who are, too. Here's some links you can check out:

That is very interesting. Tiny houses have always interested me.

I live in a 120 square foot straw bale house, and find that it meets all of my needs at a tiny fraction of the cost of most contemporary homes. The tiny house lifestyle comes highly recommended from me. :)

Welcome

Hey great presentation can't wait to read your articles. Bye
