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)

Dean Smith replied to lane's discussion 'TRANSITION CASCADIA VIDEO STUDY LIBRARY' in the group TRANSITION CASCADIA"One thing that I think of when I consider how we used to get food is the enormous amount of spoilage that occurred.
