intro and looking to form a veggie co-op in east bay

[Guest guest]

Hi to all the Bay Area vegetarians!

 

I'm beth, I've been a vegetarian since birth (my family is), and a

vegan since 1998, for both health and ethical reasons. I'm 31, and

currently teaching and writing my doctoral dissertation.

 

Besides saying hello, I'm writing to spread the word about a

vegetarian co-op housing situation a couple friends and I are putting

together in the East Bay, more specifics below, and please feel free

to forward the announcement below to friends who might be interested.

 

--------------------

Seeking 2-3 housemates for a Vegetarian Cooperative Housing

Arrangement (will likely be 4-7 people total). We're still planning

and looking at housing options, but would like to find interested

people now.

 

Start date: Around August 1st, 10 month to one year lease.

Location: Berkeley or Oakland

Rent range: $450-600 per person/bedroom, less if you want to share a

bedroom.

Pets: 2 cats are already in the mix, others negotiable depending on

compatibility

 

We're creating a meat-free household, vegans and/or people interested

in gardening and composting--- yay! We're seeking people who are

financially and personally responsible, socially conscious (queer-

friendly, anti-racist a must!) and ideally --- involved in

progressive/left education, advocacy, or activism.

We're potentially planning communal cooking (8-10 meals per week?)

and some communal shopping, and would like to minimize household use

of any products that are not environmentally safer --- toxins,

chemicals and strong perfumes = bad. No smoking, hard drugs, or

pornography.

 

Interested vegetarians, please write to us at: cooperatively
