Donella Meadows was one of the most influential environmental thinkers of the twentieth century. After receiving a PhD in biophysics from Harvard, she joined a team at MIT applying the relatively new tools of system dynamics to global problems. For 16 years Donella wrote a weekly syndicated column called “The Global Citizen,” commenting on world events from a systems point of view. It appeared in more than twenty newspapers, won second place in the 1985 Champion-Tuck national competition for outstanding journalism in the fields of business and economics, received the Walter C. Paine Science Education Award in 1990, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1999. In 1995, she put out a vision of “an intentional community of people who want to explore the challenge of Right Livelihood-living and making a living in ways that are materially sufficient, socially and ecologically responsible, humanly rewarding, satisfying to the soul….[pursuing] the central values of sustainability, sufficiency, community, equity, service, [and] efficiency.” Based on this vision, Cobb Hill Cohousing was born. Join Cobb Hill resident and Quest designer Sandy Gmur on this guided Quest that will take you on a hike to see some of the features of this community and how they are working towards living in harmony with nature and stewarding the earth.
