Camille Daum-Lobko and Charlotte Astier are in search of alternative ways to organize Western economies and society, particularly with post-growth, cooperative, worker-owned enterprises which incorporate social justice and environmental sensitivity. They converted a school bus to an environmentally-friendly home, and with their two small children, and have embarked on two journeys in North America. They met community-builders and bio-fuels producers in the Florida keys, and visited a new Orleans urban farm and educational center. They were impressed by the thriving Twin Oaks intentional community in Virginia. They sought out worker-owned cooperatives in Austin, Texas and California. The search isn’t over. After a pause in Denman Island, B.C. (where we met them), they plan to visit more projects in northern California.
