Excellent list! Thanks for that. On the communities section, I would add: http://notsocrazy.net
where there are info on the award winner documentary "Voices of Cohousing. Building villages in the city". It's a good view from within... Have a good day!
This is a great resource you've compiled. Do you mind if I link to you on my blog? Are you familiar with Paul Hawken (author of Blessed Unrest) and the site he started called WiserEarth? (http://www.wiserearth.org/) There are something like 100,000 organizations listed on the site that is fully searchable on any topic. I found it to be a great resource.
