Profile Information

How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?: I'm just getting started. I was introduced to it in NZ while I was nannying for a family who helped start a Transition Initiative in Kaitaia, Northland. While I was there I read Bob Hopkins' book and also ended up cooking for a Northland Transition Initiative Leadership training weekend. Now that I'm back home I'm hoping to become involved. I'm already active in many ways on a personal/family level.

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: Oh so many ways. Lets see...I am generally enthused by the optimistic approach that the Transition movement takes in contrast with many other environmental groups. I think it takes a serious and overwhelming issue and breaks it down into manageable obstacles. I was probably most drawn in by food and waste management issues. I feel personally invested in the idea of a future that is re-localized, sustainable, slower paced, healthier, and happier. I love the concept of "the great re-skilling." I actually feel as though reading Rob Hopkins' book gave me more purpose in life and excitement about the future.

What background and skills do you bring to this community?: I was born and raised in Boulder and love it here. I'm an artist, I speak Spanish, I'm good at cooking and I like to do things myself. In NZ I learned a fair amount about composting. I learned some things about gardening and preserving food as well and I'm working on learning more. I'm organized and reliable...

How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?: *Tell my friends/anyone who will listen about the movement
*Change/adapt personal habits: shop and eat locally, work on minimizing consumption, start growing food, use more earth-friendly art methods, sew more, educate myself further...
*I could actually use some help here. I'm hoping there will be a concrete way in which I can help out (i.e. helping with a specific project, talking to classrooms, doing "green" art projects with kids...stuff like that)

Your Favorite Books/Websites/Blogs/RSS Feeds for Information about the Transition Movement: Well, I read Rob Hopkins' book, which is great.
This is the group's website whose training I went to in NZ: http://whangareitt.ning.com/
I honestly haven't followed much on the internet...I'll work on that
