What are good examples of groups that enhance community cohesion while simultaneously lowering levels of resource consumption through shared-use-type schemes? My name is Alex Goodman and I am a graduate student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Florida. I am trying to gather an extensive list of possible case studies for groups that exemplify this kind of eco-community scheme for a research paper I’m doing in my Environment and Society course, which will hopefully become part of my dissertation framework. I sure would appreciate any and all help with generating this list, as one person can only know so many people and ideas. Some examples I am currently using would be cohousing, community supported agriculture, and the local currency/bartering networks. I know there are tons more out there!
