Proving that Sustainability works!
Dear Dancing Rabbit Friend,
It's finally making headlines! Everywhere you turn, a simple message is repeated: Don't Hurt the Earth!
Sounds like such a simple concept!
But you know it's not as simple as that. We all do. You may have heard about No Impact Man, who spent a year working towards zero environmental impact while living in New York City. He gets the media coverage he does because the truth is that aiming for zero impact is not simple. It's a radical departure from the current way of doing things. Our entire way of life has been built around convenience and ease for humans, with little regard to the ecological systems around us.
No Impact Man, village scale?
You know we're on the right path by looking at our track record: we receive support and encouragement from folks across the globe, including No Impact Man himself. No Impact Man writes:
“We need to change our culture so that living sustainably doesn't mean swimming upstream. Dancing Rabbit has created a village where living sustainably means going with the flow. We need more of that! Please support this community; it is making a big difference!”
Dancing Rabbit takes the efforts of someone like No Impact Man, and applies them at a village scale. We're proving to the world that it can be done not just on the individual scale for a year, but on the community scale long term. Here's a concept that provides some serious help for Mother Earth! You know that change needs to happen at a variety of levels - individual, community, and societal. While Dancing Rabbit encourages everyone to make personal lifestyle changes and to lobby congress to create good climate legislation, we also know that Mother Earth needs solutions that work at the village, neighborhood, and town level.
Community-Scale Sustainability - Positive Impact.
Dancing Rabbit: Promoting a Positive Impact for Mother Earth. It's not enough for Dancing Rabbit to create a single sustainable village. We need to take the lessons we've learned and the skills and experience we've gained and share them with the world. We need to inspire others and give them the tools to help make their neighborhood, town, or city “Positive Impact”.
We need your help to make it happen. Your donation today will help sustain into the coming year our unique outreach and education programs that effectively demonstrate and promote sustainability on a village scale. With your support, Dancing Rabbit can surpass the impressive figures we've obtained this year:
Dancing Rabbit depends on you to keep these important programs going. Your support provides vital outreach and education programs to share our combined knowledge of sustainability with the world.

Working together toward sustainable community,
