We’re a non-money organization, as organized as we can be anyway. Our goals are simply to put together a team of volunteers and gather as many repurposed supplies as we can, leaving the monetary incentive behind lets us be free to follow the road less traveled. We’re also not blind to the economic reality we’ve yet to move beyond. While these houses are far less costly than conventional construction, and we’ll be salvaging as much as we can, these houses will still cost a bit to build, plus we’re going to feed the workers at this all inclusive getaway.
Unsheltered Earth is just a forum for sharing our vision and facilitating collaboration, a model that could be recreated for similar projects all over, and this first one in Rosebud is in conjunction with __________________, an actual legit 501C3. They’ve already got the ten acre section of land waiting for us, they’re deeply rooted in the community we’ll be serving and know just who needs us the most, they’re happy to handle all the paperwork, and permits, and donations, and receipts, and all that kinda of stuff, that way we can focus on digging our way out of all that kinda stuff.
So… Really we just want your help. For you to cover your own travel expenses and volunteer to work really hard, for free. For free, as in you don’t have to pay dime for this once in a lifetime experience, and we even want to feed you some proper campfired cuisine.
And if you can’t come but still really want to be involved, we’d love some help with gathering supplies, maybe researching deals on misprinted bags, or introducing us to your cousin who works at the barbed wire factory. We’re mainly just a group of Earth lovers who would rather be out in it, so any help on the computer end of things is much appreciated.
And after all that stuff, if a monetary donation is still in order, we feel pretty good about directing you to _________. Just reference earthbag in the comments and it’ll get to us on the ground, maybe you could sponsor a bundle of bags or something.
