Ways to sustain ourselves from the inside out

Hi all,
It's time for us to zero in on our goals at /r/greencommunes , and I'd like your help to do it. Here I'll propose a few ideas, but really this post should serve as a starting point from which we will launch this sub.
The first goal I have for us is a functioning wiki.
Ideally, it would serve as a single stop resource for anyone interested in green communes. It would start by defining terms we use and outlining the basic premise of a self sustaining commune - linking to outside resources and case examples - and then keep going as a guide to community building, land analysis tools and purchasing suggestions, layout basic social structures/options, ultimately teaching the reader how to take the next steps and providing the resources to do so. Let me know if you're interested in working on a project like that. And please send me any resources you think would be beneficial to either the side bar or wiki.
I will be starting a weekly discussion/general chat for the sub to post updates on what we did this week to take steps towards whatever our personal goal is. I'm also open to rotating discussion topics in an additional weekly post too if there's enough interest, so just let me know and I will start working on topics.
The last thing I'd like to ask about is a sticky system for sorting our posts into categories, given how diverse the topic of green communes is. My current idea would be something like Energy, Gardening, Land, Social, News and Other.
Please let me know what you'd like from me and from this community as a whole. I see so much potential for a space like this and would love to see it flourish.
ps: I'll be officially opening up mod applications sometime this week. /r/needamod is accessible after a sub has 25 posts, so once we get closer to there I'll post again and open it up once we qualify. Obviously it's pretty low stakes, but I'd love some help from someone with experience.

Hello! Are you guys aware of some commune based in the balkans (I'm expecially interested in Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Greece...)? Everything is helpful, thank you !

With growing interest in cooperative living and homesteading, many communities are navigating how to balance shared resources, mutual support, and individual freedom. What do you think are the key pillars for building a successful and resilient commune?
r/greencommunes • u/ramakrishnasurathu • Dec 22 '24
Intentional communities are often seen as a solution to climate change and social isolation. Yet, they face unique challenges, from governance structures to resource management. What lessons can we learn from existing communes, and how can these be applied on a larger scale?

Hi, my name is Daisy Worthington and I am a student currently studying geography and environmental science. I am completing a dissertation investigating the role that community gardens play in addressing unequal access to green space. As part of this research, I have created a short survey which aims to understand the lived experiences of those involved in community gardens. I have attached the survey to this post and would be extremely grateful if anyone who is involved in a community garden could complete it. Taking part will allow you to contribute to research concerning community gardens. sharing your experiences and insights will help develop an understanding of the impact of community gardening on local communities. Thank you for taking the time to read this post!

Hi everyone,
I don't know if there will be many people here that are in the field of study but here goes anyway!
I am currently studying Quantity Surveying and doing my dissertation on the link between commercial green building and financial performance in the UK.
I am conducting a survey on the opinions of industry professionals and would appreciate if you could take 5mins to complete it for me and pass it on to anyone that you think may know relevant information.
It takes about 5 mins and you will be completely anonymous in your answering following my University's code of research practice. The survey is taken on SurveySparrow.

Thank you in advance everyone!

I hope this is a good place to post this....
I live in Northeast Ohio. Moved here ten years ago because I found it to be the most climate-resistant place in the US. Ten years later I still find that to be the case, but certainly not as far along as I had hoped. This state has too many politically-supported industry monopolies. Though there are always seemingly well-meaning folks who occasionally improve things, or at least try.
I'm looking to do some home improvements with the least amount of carbon impact and I'm finding it difficult to find many solutions.
We need to replace at least part of the driveway to mitigate the storm water better. And it looks like there's no way around the concrete.....
I'm going to repurpose the demolished concrete into a back yard patio. But I cannot find anyone to install an eco-friendly driveway in its place. Any ideas?
I've looked at permeable driveways, but many of what's offered near me aren't proven to last and I certainly don't want the carbon footprint of having yearly maintenance or to redo it again in several years. There is a modular driveway I've found online but I've got no responses from the company to find contractors near me to come install it.
I see carbon capture concrete is beginning to be a thing, but nothing near me as of yet.
Looking for ideas....
(fyi we bike often but the infrastructure for that here is still improving year over year. The highway system is so great it takes fifteen minutes to get anywhere, so for time-sensitive commutes, we drive fuel-efficient cars. We're also installing electric charging ports in our new garage for the electric car revolution. can't wait!)
