Simple/Sustainable Living (AKA Voluntary Simplicity)

1–30 of 568

Voluntary Simplicity (AKA Troy Simple Living ) is an open and diverse community of people in the Capital District of New York who share beliefs about simplifying life. The group also includes those who are interested in sustainable living (not always simple) and environmental sustainability. We come together regularly to discuss issues that affect the well-being of planet Earth and all its inhabitants and to support each others efforts to live more simply and sustainably. Frequently there is a guest speaker and occasionally the group conducts or participates in workshops and projects.

The group meets the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7PM at the First United Presbyterian Church - 1915 5th Avenue (corner Fulton Street), Troy, NY
