Luellen left a comment for Margaret Weiner

"Margaret: Yes, these books have really influenced who I am and who I want to be. It makes me feel more comfortable moving to Iowa knowing there are people there who value these issues."

Profile Information

How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?: Update: Transition Des Moines now has a steering group of three, of which I am one. We have a new Facebook page, a new subgroup for T DSM on TransitionUS/TransitionIowa, an initial charter.

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: I think it is important that people begin planning NOW (actually should have started quite a while back) for a future in which fossil fuels are expensive or not available. Working on a project like this seems like one of the most worthwhile things I could be doing.

Great Green Gratitude!

Yes, most definitely we would love to have you or someone trained give a presentation for one of our Lunch and Learns and/or Wells Fargo Environmental Affairs Green Team Iowa general membership meetings! Email me at greenteamiowa@wellsfargo.com. Unfortunately I keep having schedule conflicts when they have nearby trainings, but I have met the founders at the Iowa Environmental Council Conference last year.
I also have been communicating with those in Ames as I live near there and have been giving presentations locally and nationally about "Corporate Grassroots Greening: Incorporating Environmental Stewardship into the Very DNA of Team Members and How we do Business."
I look forward to hearing more from you and scheduling your presentation(s) as we have multiple sites with 13,000 team members in the Des Moines Metro Area.

Please do let me know once you've set the July schedule, and I'll certainly try to make it to what I can. -Stephen
