Comment by Ruth Ann Barrett on January 1, 2010 at 1:46pm: Sam Nelson's presentation on the Maia Maia project in Australia, sponsored by Transition PDX on December 12/30 was informative and an intro to using currency systems to engage citizens in making changes, in this case, reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. Article on my blog, sustainablity advocate.

Comment by Ruth Ann Barrett on December 26, 2009 at 5:53pm: Is that why you suggested that the transition US folks maybe meet as a subgroup in reply to my original suggestion for getting together as transitionus? Well, let's see what happens. Ruth Ann

Comment by Jeremy O'Leary on December 26, 2009 at 5:28pm: Mike, while I agree there is a ton of overlap between environment/social/technical/building/... events, but plenty of events are not necessarily relevant. We do post relevant hearings with the City Council or neighborhood association events, but don't post the hearings that are strictly administrative in nature.

Comment by Mike Morin on December 26, 2009 at 3:59pm: Jeremy et al,

While I understand your attempts to organize with "environmental events", I would like to pose the following question:

What interaction, ambient to imagined/real discrete (i.e. event or tangible matter) is NOT environmental?

;-)

In Peace, Friendwalkin', Community, Cooperation, and Solidarity,

Comment by Jeremy O'Leary on December 26, 2009 at 11:12am: TheDirt.org is a website of environmental events in the Portland area, which hosts the webpage(s) for Transition PDX and the Portland Permaculture Guild. No relationship as of yet with Transition US.

Comment by Ruth Ann Barrett on December 26, 2009 at 11:10am: Not clear on relationship among thedirt and transitionpdx and transitionus.

Comment by Ruth Ann Barrett on December 26, 2009 at 10:36am: Will attend January event for sure. Thanks for directing me to schedule at thedirt.

Comment by Ruth Ann Barrett on December 26, 2009 at 10:35am: Found the meeting schedule, so will attend January general meeting, maybe one this week. Thanks. Ruth Ann

Comment by Jeremy O'Leary on December 25, 2009 at 11:52pm: I'm game for a subgroup meeting and invite folks to attend some of the Transition PDX events in the next few weeks - http://www.thedirt.org/tpdx

Comment by Ruth Ann Barrett on December 19, 2009 at 11:52am: Maybe we use this subgroup to have a face-to-face meeting here in Portland to do some strategic doing around basic questions: What could we do together? (exploring our assets to find new opportunities; what should we do together? (focus on one opportunity); What will we do together? (new initiative); and what are we learning together? (learning what works by executing and measuring what happens). Just a suggestion. Ruth Ann
