We live in a small village with a bakery and a local farmer store at walking distance from the house.
I’m working remotely in a repurposed train station. The whole station had been turned into a third space last year and quite a lot of events are happening there.
Today there was a presentation of different initiatives happening in the valley, i found two initiatives particularly interesting.
The first one is a cooperative ISP provider, I’ll change my provider to join them.
The second one is another cooperative that is installing renewable energy and offering “collective self consumption”. To simplify it: when my neighbor’s solar panels are overproducing I can buy it directly from him. The rest of the time I’m using electricity from my regular provider.
Except that in this case it’s organized in the scale of several villages.
