VirginiaCompact
We are a group of individuals committed to a 12-month flight from the consumer grid. We will support each other in the Virginia area.
The Compact has several aims (more or less prioritized below):
*To go beyond recycling in trying to counteract the negative global environmental and socioeconomic impacts of disposable consumer culture and to support local businesses, farms, etc. -- a step that, we hope, inherits the revolutionary impulse of the Mayflower Compact.
*To reduce clutter and waste in our homes.
*To simplify our lives
We've agreed to follow two principles with some personal exceptions. See the original Compact's blog for more info.

#1 Don't buy new products of any kind (from stores, web sites, etc.)
#2 Borrow, barter, or buy used.
