I currently live in a 2-family home in Brighton, MA (on the west side of Boston). My roommates and I all run our cars on recycled vegetable oil, compost our table scraps (etc) and are in various stages of biodiesel production and other sustainable practices.
Some of my roommates hold workshops (during the warmer months) to teach people how to make biodiesel and convert diesel cars to run on recycled vegetable oil.
We have a small amount of garden area in the back (which seems to produce quite well), and also use our rear deck/porches for growing...
Some of the housemates make use of a composting toilet as well. We have onsite laundry and try to hang dry clothes when we can (though we DO have a traditional washer & dryer).
In any case, we are currently looking for a likeminded roommate, who would like to live in a consensus-minded home and help work towards sustainability.
Currently there are 2 guys living downstairs (where the open bedroom is available) and 2 women & 1 guy living upstairs (I'm the upstairs guy). At this moment, we are looking to find someone to move in downstairs...however (and I haven't talked with my roommates about this yet) I may be moving out in May or June, so a 2nd roommate would also be needed.
Obviously, any potential roommates would need to meet with current housemates before any decision is made...
The house is in a really nice neighborhood; street parking (no permit needed) VERY safe, nice park about 150 feet from the front door, a MBTA bus route goes right by the house, the T is about a 20 minute walk and there are TONS of food/beverage/book/coffee/produce/bakery type shops very close by...
Please email me if you are interested - I can give you more details...
