MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
Where are the members? Where is the Pro Active and Sustainable growth of this network?
We are Very interested! and want to participate. Is it not time to build this community as quickly as possible so we can move into it and leave the system we all do not agree with?
Who has the land as surly someone does that believes in this new alternative. Others have every thing else needed to make this happen.
Hi there. I was involved in early meetings to start a transition movement in Albuquerque. There was a lot of interest and passion and then, for reasons that I don't completely understand, the momentum left like air from a balloon. Thanks to Les for keeping this forum and open. I would propose that we convene in person as many of the interested members as we can to see if we can't reinvigorate our efforts. Thanks for your interest.
I'm all for transition too but somehow there is something that doesn't connect peoples' desire to manage in the collapse with taking part in such a movement. Is it hesitancy to expose our views or details to others, or is it the tone of Transition-talk, or lack of concensus on what's happening or will happen to cope, or what? Maybe hard questions haven't been asked about this. I see and fwd a huge range of unconventional news daily @netnewsbuzz. If Transition is to be useful it cannot be about changing light bulbs or writing college papers, or keeping our lifestyle in a Powerdown. Given the urgency of events IMHO it seems to me Transition-talk has the tone of polite parlor trivia. I want to see actions people take to reskill for much worse times & network with those kind. As a market grower I work with a couple of area food growers. My niche is small scale, local food production using low tech & natural inputs in a hostile climate.
