Michael Gutierrez replied to David Braden's discussion 'A Collaboration for Leaders' in the group Leadership Becomes A Choice!Michael Gutierrez replied to Ron Tocknell's discussion 'Value-based economies'"Ok, help the concrete thinker here please:
regarding a new economy that is value based: do you imagine that this replaces the current money base? If so, then is this new value base something that will have to be ratified by the US Congress? If…"

Michael Gutierrez replied to David Braden's discussion 'A Collaboration for Leaders' in the group Leadership Becomes A Choice!"I agree, my friend; I think we are just holding onto different parts of the same elephant. I am confident that we can figure out this big picture. I would only add, with a nod to Tamara, that even with equal input where everyone…"
Michael Gutierrez replied to David Braden's discussion 'A Collaboration for Leaders' in the group Leadership Becomes A Choice!"hello again-
the collection, collation and summation I mentioned before, still in progress, is getting too large for a post. I am thinking I might just post it as a blog?
There are definitely concrete actions that you can take, however,…"

Michael Gutierrez replied to David Braden's discussion 'A Collaboration for Leaders' in the group Leadership Becomes A Choice!"Hello David- You know I really do enjoy reading these esoteric discussions.

Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- I am working toward a degree for Master in Public Health so I am keenly interested in those social aspects that affect our collective well being and health.
Transitions, in my view, is a grassroots (pun intended) explosion waiting to happen. No question: this network is growing faster and faster. I believe this movement will eventually reach a critical mass where sustainability, local food and environmental justice become a social norm.
With sufficient numbers, the policy makers will no longer be able to ignore the clear will of the people: we want clean air, water, and food - now.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I am interested because my professional-academic goal is to build a non-profit organization specifically designed to provide free wellness, nutrition and diet services and information. All proceeds will then go to outreach programs that serve the underprivileged at the family-community level.
Urban gardening will be at the backbone of services that I hope to provide.
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
- I am attending the Master Community Gardener Training Program at the the Denver Urban Gardens (dug.org) this spring. With this knowledge I hope to first focus on the public school system. Every single school should have a garden, sufficient in yield, that can be used in their very kitchens.
I also have advanced training in math, science and communications. I have leadership training and experience that goes back twenty years to the US Army.
I am also very experienced as both volunteer and organizer. I intend to be knee deep (pun intended again!) in community gardening with Transitions.

This book conclusively shows how our innate immunity works and how a pesticide-free diet rich in colors (read:vegetables) is crucial to preventing cancer.
Outstanding science, easy-to-read and groundbreaking!
