Cohousing-L Mailing List: Vote now to give cohousing world media coverage!

[matthieu lietaert (matthieu]

Dear cohousers,
  2009 has just started and there is already a chance, if cohousers behave as a 
network, to give cohousing word media coverage!
  The World Economic Forum*, where the world leaders gathers yearly since 1979, 
is meeting in late January. They asked citizens to reply with a video to the 
question: "What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals 
must do to make the world a better place in 2008?". Of course there is no one 
single answer, but cohousing as most of you know does make life better for 
people around the world! So I replied with the short trailer of my documentary 
on cohousing. 
  I think we have a chance to bring cohousing to be discussed at the WEF 
because most of people's answer are too broad and hard to apply in reality. The 
cohousins is something focused and already lived by many!
  Please vote  for it (deadline 20th January) so that the cohousing issue is 
discussed at the next World Economic Forum.

* The World Economic Forum is a very criticised summit as it gathers the world 
business and political leaders who tend to appear "green" and "social" whereas 
what really matters to them is to be more competitive and make more profit. Yet 
I do believe that it is important to use this media channel to speak about the 
advantages of living in a cohousing.
