to the BackHome Chapters new home. |
This site will be the central directory for all the chapters. As each area chapter forms or spins
off a state it will be listed here. To access the chapters use the "Regional Chapters" navigation button above
to go to the links page. Then click the chapter button of your choice.
Personal introduction: I am Dave Haig, a member of the New York chapter, and as the webmaster for
the BackHome Chapters website I have the honor of carrying the torch and continuing down the path opened by David McMillen.
Member input is always welcome, whether a short story about a project, a useful tip, information on an upcoming event such
as a work party, a fair, or a get-together, and remember the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words!
I will try to work material into the site in a timely manner. Please keep in mind that this site is a continuing work
in progress. Thank you for your support and patience as this site develops and grows.

Recent Updates:
- Added several music links - the Live Earth concert, and a couple of festivals. You may be able to meet the Solar Bus folks at the festivals... this is a rolling demo site for renewable energy... learn something and have fun too!
- Added a link to the Hexayurt Project - affordable disaster housing with intriguing concepts directly applicable to low impact, sustainable living.
