"Just found Transition Voice yesterday and have been reading through past posts - great articles!"
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.

"Hi Alex,
Ozone is kind of the elephant in the room, and it took me a while to identify it as the most likely source of tree decline. When I first started researching causes for tree injury (2008) I quickly became immersed in the science of…"
Alex replied to Gail Zawacki's discussion 'Sailing Option' in the group Atlantic Coast, North America"It would be too easy to dismiss your post by just calling you a "doomer". Relative to people that don't know anything about CC or peak oil, I might sound like a doomer, right?
So I don't think you're a doomer (unless…"
"Well, my motto (since I became enlightened and started reading up on climate change etc) is, sooner and faster and worse than predicted.
Events are outpacing even the worst-case scenarios on almost every aspect, whether is is melting ice,…"
David Eggleton replied to Gail Zawacki's discussion 'Sailing Option' in the group Atlantic Coast, North America"Yes. Trade and piracy will be different, if it survives, in a period of energy/material decline. Changing coastlines will mean that port infrastruture will be lacking, but there are ways other than docks and cranes to…"
Sailing Option

Dear Transitioners:The necessity of transitioning to clean energy is even more of an imperative for an over-looked reason: the background levels of tropospheric ozone are inexorably rising. This is not the same as stratospheric ozone, which is naturally occurring and beneficial, as it shields Earth from UV radiation. I am referring to the toxic, ground-level ozone that is formed when emissions from burning fuel interact with UV radiation.Of course, ozone causes cancer and other fatal and…See More
