Profile Information
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested in joining us?
- I think transitioning to sustainability as a community is the most likely chance for success. We are out of time for individual by individual transformation, and nationwide or statewide change is too logistically impossible. Community-sized change can be led by "small groups of dedicated people" -- or "firesouls" or "grassroots movements" -- which are the proven agents of change where social order is concerned.
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement? If not involved currently, just state that.
- I have been an activist for sustainability for 15 years; for the past four I've been deeply involved in teaching about The Natural Step framework for sustainability. I have been hearing more about the Transition movement, purchased the book (though only scanned it), and am eager to compare the two approaches to fostering sustainable behavior.
- What skills/talents/resources/interests do you bring to the Transition movement?
- Organizational, communication skills, networks, etc.
Some knowledge of permaculture, food preservation, gasification, systems thinking, vermiculture, minimal use of resource in personal life
- What would you be interested in doing?
- Too many to list now
