Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Heartwood Cohousing's Growing Dome Greenhouse Featured in Article and Video

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

Thanks Sara. I was very impressed with the job Growing Spaces did on the 
article and video.

We have an ideal climate here for passive solar buildings, which is essentially 
what a greenhouse is. We have a four season climate with snow in the winter and 
lots of sunshine — over 300 days per year. All of our homes are also passive 
solar, which creates a very comfortable living environment and saves energy. 
We’ve had lows in the 20’s this week and I still haven't turned on our heat for 
the winter, yet my house has stayed at about 70°. I try to avoid turning on the 
heat until November just to see if I can!  :-)

thousand miles.  I thought once past there, my reward will begin, but now 
everything ahead seems kind of empty and I find I have already had my reward in 
the doing of the thing -- the stars, the cliffs, and canyons, the roar of the 
rapids, the moon, the uncertainty, worry -- the relief when through each one -- 
the campfires at nite . . . "
