This group was started in the Seattle area and will remain centered around the Seattle area for the time being, until it grows to a point where a majority of it members would be better served by either moving it or splitting into a second meetup group. Knowing that the government will never be your source for safety, protection and emergency supplies is the first step. Zombie outbreaks (a metaphor for an emergency or disaster and those that are unprepared) are to be expected in the upcoming ye …

The renaissance is here, and it brought ice-cream! So, here’s the idea: Ideas. Unfiltered, unencumbered, and unapologetically enthusiastic ideas. Ideas that lead to grease-smeared hands, lavender sorbet, things that go bang, clouds of steam, those goggle-marks you see on crazy chemistry geeks, and some guy (or girl) in the background juggling and swinging from a trapeze.

These people call themselves EcoSexuals and they embrace both the earth body and the human body as worthy of our respect and love. EcoSexuals are also exploring how our relationship with human sexuality affects how we relate to ourselves, one another and Earth’s ecosystems. We ho …
