Our common vision

Through a series of group meetings we arrived at this Community Vision Statement for the Raccoon Creek Community. It may be updated from time to time.

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

The Raccoon Creek Residential Community intends to achieve long-term social and environmental sustainability. Ideally, the community becomes a model for environmental excellence and social equity. To achieve these goals we will emphasize:

• Minimizing our impact on the earth through reducing, reusing and recycling
• Utilizing renewable, organic and non-toxic materials wherever possible
• Creating shared spaces and resources to minimize unnecessary duplication
• Recognition of individual needs for privacy while encouraging spontaneous interaction
• Respect for and encouragement of diversity among our membership
• A co-operative, supportive attitude in achieving community projects
• The opportunity to participate in shared activities, celebrating members' joys and aiding one another in times of need
• Personal safety and security utilizing peaceful conflict resolution techniques
• Accountability for the contributions of each member to ensure an even distribution of the workload and responsibilities

Raccoon Creek Community members subscribe to this vision to acknowledge the link between a healthy environment, community and personal health and quality of life.
