- Each of the 14 domes has a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and loft and can house two students. According to Ramona Pulido, who wrote an article about the domes last year, each dome was constructed of three to four inches of polyurethane foam surrounded by a fiberglass shell that serves to protect inhabitants from outside elements. The white exterior and thick insulation keeps them cool in the summer and warm in the winter.	+ Each of the 14 domes has a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and loft and can house two students.

Regnier believes that the Domes’ unique governing system is part of the appeal of the community. "The Domes are an experiment in sustainable living.

- Because a very important aspect of any sustainable living community is the production of food, the residents of Baggins End are especially dedicated to their gardens. The Domes have an extensive ["Organic" organic] garden that is maintained by both residents and members of the community. The garden consists of multiple areas designated for specific purposes, including an herb garden and greenhouse. An area called the DSA, or Domes Supported Agriculture, produces the bulk of the food grown in the community. Crops such as peas, garlic, onions, potatoes, eggplant and peppers are rotated year-round.	+ Because a very important aspect of any sustainable living community is the production of ["food"], the residents of Baggins End are especially dedicated to their ["Gardening" gardens].

- The new greenhouse at the Domes is another example of the community’s commitment to sustainability. As Regnier explained, the greenhouse is constructed so that the winter sun passes through the windows and hits a heat storing rear wall. The wall is constructed of rice straw and stucco, and retains heat. As the sun goes down, the rear wall emits heat, and keeps the greenhouse warm throughout the night. In the summer, the sun travels a different path in the sky, leaving the heat-retaining wall shaded. The greenhouse stays hot, but is able to cool during the evening.	+ The new greenhouse at the Domes, built by domies and friends, is another example of the community’s commitment to sustainability.

- ''Someone should put some real info here about the domes and the co-op community there.''	+ Just south of Orchard Park, a little guy named Chamomile is leading a very good life. He's got a couple dozen friends who keep him company, and has the opportunity to eat quality vegetarian food every day. There is a flock of chickens to play with and a garden that Chamomile enjoys strutting around in. + + Chamomile is a long-time resident of Baggins End, an alternative housing complex adjacent to the Orchard Park Apartment Complex. Baggins End, or "The Domes," is home to up to 28 U.C. Davis students and is known throughout Davis, and other parts of the world, as a cooperative and sustainable community. + + The Domes opened in the fall of 1972. According to Doug Ryen, who oversaw the Domes for UC Davis for a number of years, the community was proposed in the 1960s by a group of students who wanted to create less expensive housing options on campus. A few different proposals were made by designers/builders for ways to accomplish this. Ultimately the dome style was chosen. + + The buildings were constructed primarily by student volunteers under the direction of the contractor who proposed and designed the domes, Ryen elaborated. The construction took about one year, and the students who volunteered their time and labor were the very first residents of what was to become the sustainable community of Baggins End. + + Each of the 14 domes has a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and loft and can house two students. According to Ramona Pulido, who wrote an article about the domes last year, each dome was constructed of three to four inches of polyurethane foam surrounded by a fiberglass shell that serves to protect inhabitants from outside elements. + + People who live sustainably, like the residents of the Domes, try to be as efficient with resources as possible. According to Amigo Cantisano, an Organic Agriculture Advisor and organic farmer, living sustainably involves Minimizing pollution and causing the least amount of damage [to the earth] as possible; using local resources; growing your own food; eating food that is minimally processed; recycling; taking care of your health and your environment. + + In order for a community to achieve its goal of sustainability, it must work cooperatively. The Baggins End community is truly one of cooperation. Every second Sunday, the residents of the Domes gather to work together, usually in the gardens. Baggins End is part of the Student Housing Department and is owned by U.C. Davis. However, the residents do all of the work in the gardens and on the grounds. + + The Domes are currently home to 26 U.C. Davis students of varying backgrounds and majors. Justin Regnier, a Graduate student in Transportation Technology and Policy, has lived at the Domes for nearly a year. According to Regnier, "Everyone does something. Gardening, pruning the trees, feeding the chickens-everyone contributes." Reignier believes that the Domes unique governing system is part of the appeal of the community. "The Domes are an experiment in sustainable living. We're self-governing, and all decisions are made by consensus. Communication and cooperation are important. + + In order to maintain their sustainable environment, residents of the Domes rely on consensus, a policy that requires compromise and communication. Members of the community are brought together to discuss an issue until a convergent decision is made. Rather than being a simple exercise in trading (I'll stop playing my music loud if you do your dishes), genuine consensus requires the development of relationships among members (we'll listen to music while we do the dishes together). New residents of the Domes go through non-violence and communication training, so that they will be better equipped to participate in the decision-making process. "The training teaches residents how to listen to others instead of how to make others listen," explained Regnier. + + Because a very important aspect of any sustainable living community is the production of food, the residents of Baggins End are especially dedicated to their gardens. The Domes have an extensive organic garden that is maintained by both residents and members of the community. The garden consists of multiple areas designated for specific purposes, including an herb garden and greenhouse. An area called the DSA, or Domes Supported Agriculture, produces the bulk of the food grown in the community. Crops such as peas, garlic, onions, potatoes, eggplant and peppers are rotated year-round. + + Rotating crops is a common practice in sustainable farming that offers huge benefits and results in higher yields. Cantisano explains that some plants require a lot of nutrients, called heavy-feeding plants, and can drain the soil of nitrogen in a short time. Legume plants, such as beans, peas, and clover, are low-feeding, and actually introduce nitrogen into the soil. Crop rotation prevents soil from becoming depleted of nutrients without having to use inorganic or chemical fertilizers. + + The new greenhouse at the Domes is another example of the communitys commitment to sustainability. As Regnier explained, the greenhouse is constructed so that the winter sun passes through the windows and hits a heat storing rear wall. The wall is constructed of rice straw and stucco, and retains heat. As the sun goes down, the rear wall emits heat, and keeps the greenhouse warm throughout the night. In the summer, the sun travels a different path in the sky, leaving the heat-retaining wall shaded. The greenhouse stays hot, but is able to cool during the evening. + + In addition to caring for the gardens, the chickens and Chamomile the rooster, the Baggins End community provides assistance during the Whole Earth Festival and works with the Experimental College on coordinating garden space and resources for classes and courses. The community also offers Informal networking and cooperation with the local agriculture community, said Regnier. + + While Baggins End is a residential area, members of the community are encouraged to visit the grounds and the people who live there. Were here and would like to see people, explained Regnier. + + Residents of the Domes prepare a community dinner Sunday through Thursday nights every week, and take turns cooking the vegetarian and vegan meals. Many of the vegetables used are from the Domes organic garden. Visitors are encouraged to attend the dinners, which are held at 6:00 P.M.
