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?
- I attended a two-day Transition training workshop in Cambridge MA and am currently exploring with my Somerville cohort, Emily Hardt, how to bring Transition to Somerville, MA.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- The Transition movement seems like a great framework to connect a lot of the work already being done around environmental, social, and economic sustainability. I like that it bases decision-making on future scenarios as opposed to past data. I like that it addresses peak oil and climate change. Mostly, I see it as a deep attempt to address how human beings are on planet earth -- as opposed to the many techno-fix answers being proposed to address climate change.
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
- See what can happen in Somerville, share what we're learning here, and learning from other communities and transition folks.

- HI Vanessa,
This may seem a little odd, but I just met with Vicki Robbins to talk about an organizing model called the Common Security Club (www.commonsecurityclub.org) that I helped create and disseminate. We touched on Transition Towns in our conversation, both agreeing that the TT movement is very compatible with both our work. She suggested I come to a meeting that you and she are having on Monday. I wanted to check with you about place and time, and also whether you are comfortable with that.
I am the co-founder of the JP Green House, and I know Rob Riman and Marian Miller. I've been meaning to get involved more with TT for a long while. I'd love to meet you and discuss common interests.
Best wishes,
Andree Zaleska
