TRANSITION IN ACTION SOCIAL NETWORK

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.
