Hamida Sandy Susut has written an article on the Ziraat web pages about the deep energy retrofit in her housing co-op (an updated article can be found here).
There are also two short videos showing the concept and an interview with her. https://www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/energiesprong-retrofitting-59-homes-to-net-zero-in-canadas-north. After viewing the video scroll down to hear the 309 B interview. It is so amazing to see what can manifest with intention.

The Connectivity Project film series presents stories of the ripple effects that our actions can generate, shedding light on the interconnected nature of life, society, and spirit. Featuring interviews with indigenous elders, scientists, visionaries, and activists, the films open our eyes to how individual efforts can make a world of difference. These short films were envisioned by Rose Madrone who has been part of NWSC for several years. Here is an interview with her https://kpfa.org/episode/terra-verde-november-15-2019/ and a link to the website and films https://www.connectivityproject.com.
Kalama Reuter has been stewarding native plants in Washington through a program called Rare Care. This spring she helped find a thriving population of Suksdorf desert parsley pictured above, but sadly three other rare species were not found as habitats have changed. In addition, she spearheaded an EV carshare grant application for her small town. A $200,000 grant was just awarded and it will be the first two public Electric Vehicle charging stations in her rural Washington county along with EVs available to share.
