My Community, My Home; A Vision Statement

Hello friends, I have recently been enrolled in a mooc (massive open online course) titled "Intro to Sustainability". One of the assignments, the final essay, is a vision statement outlining your goals toward living a sustainable life. I thought I would share this with you and possibly spur some conversation on the subject, I would love to share some of the information I have learned in this course with you.
My Community, My Home;
Building wellness and education, a hands on approach is applied to sustainable living. By growing relationships with like-minded individuals, and sharing our combined knowledge and experience, we will help organize community based activities that promote sustainable practices in the home, garden and beyond. Initially I shall continue to be involved in my community, helping neighbours and upholding an awareness of global issues. The next step is to allow myself the time to maintain and improve my home and land to run both efficiently and productively within a permaculture system, this work is critical and ongoing. In the long term, other community members shall be contacted with the possibility of a business/co-op to help construct sustainable projects within the community.
