Cohousing-L Mailing List: San Francisco Peninsula--Sharing Revolution Conference--June 18

[Claire Elliott (clairee]

To help everyone reduce the "stuff" in our lives, Acterra invites you to ignite 
The Sharing Revolution in Silicon Valley on June 18 from 9 am to 4 pm.

We're pulling together the top ideas, tools and people to help you build 
community, save money, and reduce our impact on Earth. Together, we'll create 
Sharing Revolutions throughout the Bay Area. You'll finish the day inspired and 
with a plan to get started. 

Car shares, neighborhood tool libraries, fruit/vegetable exchanges, babysitting 
co-ops, lending clubs, and vacation house swaps are just some of the creative 
ways people are sharing. Come meet folks who are using these successful models 
every day — and connect with others to start your own sharing groups.  Over 80 
people from throughout Silicon Valley and the Peninsula are already planning to 
attend.  Please register now and join us on June 18!
