 ge:\n(posted by Jordan Bober)\nHello everyone,\n\nAt the Village Vanco
 uver Meet-up held last week, we broke off into groups corresponding to
  different geographical areas of the city and brainstormed various pr
 ojects that could possibly be organised at the village level. The purp
 ose of this is to get ideas flowing and to make everyone aware of the 
 kinds of ideas they may share in common with others from the same vil
 lage. I have been tasked with posting the results of this min-visioni
 ng session to the GW village page, so here it is:\n \n1. Sustainable 
 systems: Compost sharing/common compost, mutual assistance with set-up
  of grey water recycling systems, energy efficiency projects including
  possibly creating a system to allow the microfinancing of home retrof
 itting (maybe piggybacking on the city's current initiative to fund ho
 me retrofits for increased energy efficiency).\n2. Social: Potlucks to
  encourage neighbours to get to know each other, \"block buddy\" syste
 m for mutual assistance in case of a disaster, mapping of community vu
 lnerabilities and resources in case of a disaster, setting up \"phone 
 trees\" for rapid emergency dissemination of information, checking up 
 on people in case of a disaster, etc.\n3. Children: Set up toy sharing
 , shared child care, organising nature outings for children.\n4. Food:
  Sharing of food, storage and preservation activities/space/equipment,
  sharing of expertise, shared cob ovens, mutual help with watering gar
 dens etc in case someone is away.\n5. Elders: looking out for our elde
 rs by offering care and company.\n6. Education: Setting up a common li
 brary for book sharing, mutual teaching\n7. Medicine: Sharing of medic
 inal knowledge, herbs, etc.\n\n\n\n\nFor more information visit http:/
