What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...
- 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.
- Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
- Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
- See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
- New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.
- Experiment by clicking on TOP NEWS vs ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SHARE in the center column -- two types of Latest Activity.

- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- Long (detailed) answer... thefindingfiniteproject.wordpress.com
Short (summarized) answer... The Projects Purpose and Task
Segment One: To develop the governing dynamics (initiatives, operational structures & protocols) for a cohesive and cooperative community culture in line with a self-sustainable village. Instead of rebuilding our Urban/Suburban unsustainable infrastructures, the program would be tasked to promote the localized and more logistically plausible retrofitting of existing dwellings (neighborhoods). These “Neighborhood Villages” would then develop into a town, city, state, and national network of such villages. Recognizing the eminent failure to sustain its inhabitants within the current systems, this program will educate, direct, and help manage a practical and sustainable paradigm. Its purpose is to first establish a civil continuity, then awareness/informational structure, a resource (energy, food, and water) collective, and finally a feasible localized governance to secure each village and its inhabitants. The reason or need for the program is to avoid mass population displacement & disorder while easing the transitional challenges brought on by a system that was planned, built, and entirely reliant on cheap fossil fuels. While providing a societal structure that sustains, stabilizes, and further attempts to unify its population.
Segment Two: The multiple layered awareness efforts of the program, its purpose, and the reason it is needed. Be that publications, documents/editorials, documentary/films, and/or celebrity endorsement and alignments.
Segment Three: The completion and publishing (not sure about paper publishing) of the book and manual titled “Finding Finite”.

Great to see your interest in Transition! Welcome to GLOBAL TRANSITION IN ACTION. You mention in your registration "...Sorry to keep putting in the blog link, but it is the best way for you to know me and our intentions...." It would be spot on for all our members if you would consider including a link to your http://thefindingfiniteproject.wordpress.com/ in our registry of organizations, localities, companies, products, services, Twitterers, Facebooks, Meetups, etc. supporting Transition and Sustainability. Here's the page to create the link. That way we can introduce our two groups to each other. Are you interested? I'll be glad to help launch and build your link.
Great photo.
Again, welcome!
