Some of the members have been having a discussion about the way in which we might try to move things on a bit with regards to the branding of our project and ideas. We think that we would all like to be involved in this undertaking, and yet observe and understand the time constraints of many of the group that will form the core committee/group of the Abundant Earth Community. Creating a change will take time and the speed we can travel is often limited to the participation of our members, so we urge everyone to at least offer your suggestions based upon what we outline here. A newer member has committed an amount of his time and expertise already to come up with the image above. It is hoped that anyone else who has any ideas to come forward and make those suggestions. The idea is possibly not to get too trendy and committed to branding ourselves, as much as being able to quickly indicate our aims through a visual tool.
I like the images that describe Earth care for example. Another suggestion is that an Acorn and or Oak tree might give a clue as to the structure and strength we hope our movement can achieve. We feel sure that Permaculture principles of Earth Care, People Care and Share of Resources are key to what we can invest in our journey. But we just don't know yet. We also hope that a Consensus Decision Making process can be how we make all of the major determining factors of our venture run smoothly and give everyone a voice. So could anyone who is determined to become a fully fledged member, please both sign in as a follower of the blog and other connection tools, (Twitter-Facebook-etc) and leave their thoughts in the comments box at the bottom of the post or by email. aec.lincs@gmail.com
The way this all works is entirely up to us. So please let us, the current participants and blog posters have your thoughts and let's see what magic we can make in our city, environment and world.
We also have to work on a final draft of our constitution so anyone needing access to dropbox and the other relevant information please just ask, there are no big secrets here....
We look forward to all comments and debate.
Love n light.
A.E.C.
P.W.
