Ecotopia Newsletter (1-21 Aug. 2012, Flaeming Region (Germany)

Hello d(e)aer everyone!:)

The year 2012 is approaching with all its unknown and controversial essence while there is one thing we know for sure – there is going to be an Ecotopia meeting in Weitzgrund in January (6-8), and you are kindly invited to take part in it. There was already an official Ecotopia meeting this year in Janswalde in August 1 to 7 (minutes http://goo.gl/NsH56), just before the climate camp in the same place, next to the cloud factory of VattenFAIL company, where we, the people from a number of countries, surrounded by the apocalyptic vews of the broun coal smoke, discussed many things about previous and future Ecotopias, and came up with many ideas and inspirations, so we decided to keep in touch for further steps to make Ecotopia 2012 happen. Here we are – with this invitation!

So, if you have not yet been in Weitzgrund (about 90 km from Berlin), there are some things you may want to know about this place: it is located in the middle of a forest, not far from where deers meet (male deers come from op to 60 km far to meet the females here), and it’s also where the center of former DDR was. Besides – there is a big cozy house (the house where Wam lives) which has enough room for many people to come together and to enjoy a warm and creative atmosphere, which is very necessary for planning something like Ecotopia.

So, if you are up for it, please schedule your time the way that you make it to Weitzgrund in January 2012.
Best wishes from the forest full of deers,

More Ecotopias – less hunters!

(there are many many hunters here today, so annoying to hear the sound of guns and to imagine those beautiful species running and dyeing … we need more Ecotopias, people!…)
