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.

Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- Just beginning to do research at this point. My book club will be discussing The Transition Handbook this month, so we are all learning together.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I am interested in the Transition movement because I know that the resources of our planet are not infinite and I see the mistakes our government continue to make in trying to fix the old, failed economic system. I believe the Biblical addage that to see trouble coming and not prepare for it is the way of fools. I do not want to be counted among them.
I am in the process of planting my first vegetable garden (organic). I want to learn how to grow my own food and then teach others how to do it along with other "old-fashioned" skills I am either re-learning from my childhood or learning for the first time, such as outdoor cooking, bread baking, canning, seed saving, etc.
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
- I believe I can help by being part of the grassroots movement that is emerging in my state. I hope that in the future we can go before our city leaders to encourage them to take on a transition mindset. My skills at this point include a little about vegetable gardening and a lot about quilting and sewing. Hopefully will have more to offer in the future.
- Your Favorite Books/Websites/Blogs/RSS Feeds for Information about the Transition Movement
- Just learning about them at this point. Richard Heinberg's website is very informational as well as Peak Moments TV.
