Latest Activity -- Who's Doing What...

Yuri Smirnov joined meldrc's group

For all who are inspired by the 'Ringing Cedars of Russia' series - please share your thoughts on creating kin's domains, spaces of love, re-wilding, communing with nature. Would be great to hear from those who've been to Sharashkin's workshop!

meldrc replied to Judith's discussion 'Transition in large urban areas - how to'

"As someone who spend the past several months in Dallas, I've done a lot of thinking about the megalopolis problem. My feeling is that breaking down the mega-cities into manageable chunks - towns, communities or whatever - is the way it's…"

Profile Information

How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?: occasional contributor to hopedance magazine, attended ecocities conference in 2008

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: it's the direction things need to go; also, it's something positive & hope-giving to stand for, in a world that seems increasingly scary & unstable

Rainbow Nation => Rainbow Transition Movement

This is so good:

Watching this clip makes me realize that so far, when I think of the Transition Movement, I've been picturing in my mind's eye mostly white people in places like England, Portland, The Farm in TN, maybe New Zealand, working together to relocalize, etc.

I got so many places to shoot for that. I could start a whole news agency on that alone. But my priority is mushrooms and fungi research and then aquaponics. Moving forward with solutions is funner to report, but solutions are hard to sell. Weird how it works that way. People see solutions on TV it makes them feel powerless. They say to themselves, " Oh thats a great invention, to bad I cant afford to do it" See a problem they feel powerful. That is the paradox of TV.

My favorite land development choice is somewhere in the Georgia Florida border. Swamp and wetlands. Fresh water prawns. It would be nice to go with you and check out these demonstration sites.

Come and see the new US Transition Map we rolled out this past weekend. As this page develops, it will become a map of U.S. and World Transition resources. All 50 states are now active. Many state sites are brand new! Go to TEXAS and sign in. Invite others. Enter some of your local events. Start Discussions. Make Transition! Have fun!
