Update from Cascadia Commons

Hello Cascadian Transitioners! I have some really good news I'd like to share with all of you about Cascadia Commons.  I might have mentioned this before, but we are striving to establish a Benevolent Society, which is a mutual aid organization and can offer its members bulk rates on insurance products, such as health care.  We believe the Benevolent Society model is excellent for advancing the efforts of transition…See More

Collin: I lost my email on Ning again. I was saying that I somehow got to Cascadia
Commons maybe from some informationon Mark Lakeman of City Repair and I
don't even know how I got there.

I know Mark as he came to Guemes (where I live) several years ago with his
presentation. A couple of months ago I suggested that we work together.
It was probably with reference to Permaculture and Transition Towns. He
was going over to BC and OUR Ecovillage and thought he might stop here
aon his way.
I am having trouble with Ning again. It will not let me see what I am am
writing. I have been thinking hat if Transition Cascadia could perhaps
meet for some kind of conference or whatever, Portland would be the ]
natural place. Since we are so small, I thought that if we piggy backed
on an event like the Building Convergence in Portland, at least if no one
showed up, something important and intersting would be going
on. What do you think?

Thanks Colin for your bioregional Cascadia links posting for map.
I attended some of the very first american bioregional congresses held in the Ozarks in the late 70's. Now I'm often in the Cascadia biorgion, or either the central or NE corner of the North Pacific Ring of Fire...the salty sea that our cascadia bioregion cycles energy & nutrients with! You can find me most often on the WhatcomTransition.ning.com network site.
