Just a few of my favorite takeaways from this episode:“Do you really give a shit about other people enough to be having it determine your decision making?” Tweet This: “There is a lot of choice here about how exactly you embody sustainability.” “We need to actually have a culture that supports people in living their values rather than having their values as something that is an afterthought in their lives. or that is the secondary thing. It really needs to become the primary thing. Living in a community like Dancing Rabbit allows you to do that.” A New Concept:
