The Tuscaloosa Cooperative Association (TCA) welcomes participation by individuals and families interested in: co-housing; eco-village development; and sustainable living in general. The TCA has no religious or political affiliation. The list will serve as forum for free and open discussion, leading (it is hoped) to practical expression in the form of eco-village and/or co-housing development in or near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We currently call this development "The Village of Tuscaloosa." Our models are the Eco-Village at Ithaca (http://www.ecovillage.ithaca.ny.us/), Champlain Valley Co-Housing (http://www.champlainvalleycohousing.org), and Earthsong Eco-Neighborhood (http://www.earthsong.org.nz), suitably modified to local conditions. Take a look at our links page, files, and photos for vast loads of additional information, including possible site plans, house designs, community charters, and much more. See also our several videos on cohousing.
