I have worked as an architect and planning consultant and as an activist
for sustainability for over 20 years. My main input was in Feasta:
Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability (www.feasta.ie) but I also
served on 10+ NGO, professional or government boards promoting community

About four years ago, I gave
up all that ineffective advocacy promising myself only to work on real
projects that promise immediate benefits. The commons movement is a
framework for projects that perfectly fit the prescription!
I now lead two communing projects;- the Irish Biochar Cooperative based in
Tipperary and the Community Land Trust Initiative based in Dublin.
The more advanced is the Irish Biochar Cooperative Society Ltd trading as
+Char www.pluschar.ie. Despite its benefits, biochar still remains a niche
technology / product known only to few environmentalists. We think we can
mainstream biochar using a business model that has proved very successful
in Irish agriculture in the 1930-50s - the agricultural cooperative. For
these times, we decided we needed a multi stakeholder /open cooperative to
succeed. The Biochar Coop has 8 founder members representing workers,
producers, users, service providers and community. We hope to expand with
roll out of our habitat management services and new farm products this
year.
The Community Land Trust Initiative (CLTI) is a forum for now while we
discuss the best model to take forward. The CLTI comprises a 40+ group of
building, planning and housing professionals, activists, politicians and
builders who are determined to address Ireland's housing crisis and see
common ownership of land as a fundamental part of the solution. We may form
our own community land trust or we may partner with a local authority in an
arms length trust. We will know in 6 months or so.
