In 2007, this new, environmentally minded way of building homes was launched in the Midcoast. McKim will speak about how this small, community-based organization focused its efforts on sharing resources, food production, and energy efficiency to create a 36-home residential “social experiment” in world peace and sustainability right in Belfast.
Sanna McKim is the co-founder and former Project Manager of Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage. Prior to this, she served as Executive Director for the Maine Businesses for Social Responsibility (MEBSR) and as Marketing & Admissions Director for the National Audubon Society Expedition Institute.
This presentation is part of the Summer Talk Series at Merryspring, co-sponsored by Camden National Bank and Jaret & Cohn Real-Estate. Admission to the Tuesday Talks is free to Merryspring members and children, with a nominal $5 fee for non-members.
