Public meeting in Tuam
Pobal Inmharthana na Gaillimhe
Galway Sustainable Community
May 2011
The Galway Sustainable Community Project will hold a public meeting on Thursday, 2nd June, at 8pm in the Corralea Court Hotel, Tuam. The meeting will discuss the project's hopes of setting up the first ecological community in the West of Ireland - a small, environmentally-sustainable settlement where residents produce some of their own food and energy and form a strong, close-knit community. The development will have land devoted to food growing, private dwellings, shared facilities and community buildings where residents can eat, work and socialise together.
"Conventional modern day living leaves too many people isolated and yearning for a stronger sense of community," said Kerry E'lyn Larkin of the project. "At the same time, it's becoming clear that the Western world needs to reform our environmentally devastating lifestyle - and this is easier to do in a co-operative fashion than individually. A sustainably built intentional community addresses both of these major issues, and will provide a high quality of life for its residents."
The meeting will provide the opportunity to invite new people to get involved. All those interested are encouraged to come along and join the discussion. Tea and coffee will be provided.
