Latest Activity -- Who's Doing What...
June 1, 2009 from 7pm to 9pm
This will be the second meeting towards forming a transition initiative in Somerville, MA.
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.

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
