Profile Information

How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
I am on a steering committee in San Luis Obispo County. We have already created a listserv, a website link to buy the HANDBOOK, other resources, collecting names of possible reskilling folks, listing organizations that are in alliance with the values and message of TT in our county. Fortunately we have had a magazine (www.HopeDance.org) in the tri-county area (central coast of Califorrnia) that has been doing similar work for the past ten years.
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
For transformative purposes since the handwriting has been on the wall for decades and TT has a great umbrella and celebratory feel where others do not.
How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
With all the elements and skills I have: media, screening films, writing, publishing, facilitating discussions, website (that is alrady getting 200,000 hits a month). We just published an issue that comprises a reprint from the HANDBOOK as well as 4 other articles that are very specific to how to start (www.hopedance.org).

i've invited two vocal climate change skeptics over for a visit today and they accepted the invitation. seeking to build neighborhood bridges and bring it home; not interested in debate/argument. wish me luck. kj

Never have, but I'll learn it. Very useful. There is so much good stuff out there.

Just occured to me - you may be thinking of us posting the trailer it on Transitions Louisville - may just give that a shot.

Yes, indeed, Renewal is a good one for that. Kentucky Interfaith Power and Light has done that a few times, and will again. Have not yet done so at a Transitions event. Much to do.

Thanks for saying. Hope we can collaborate on things.

Howdy Bob,

Thanks for all your efforts with Transition and the Hopedance linkage.

I'm flying into Burbank, California on July 4th and heading back to Ohio on July 21st.

I'll be going to a community fair in Ventura, then up to Ojai with my son to spend time with family (play with my grandson and meet my new first grand-daughter!!!!).

I may be staying at the Ojai Foundation for some of the time. I am then borrowing my son's truck and heading up I 5 to Fairfield to see my brother and then up 101 to spend time with my son in Humboldt.

Thought I'd seek your input since youo seem to know about what's happening in California and I'm working up my specific itinerary. I would like to incorporate any potential opportunities to meet up with Transition folks, partake in Transition related events/meetings and/or see if anyone wants to carpool north or south.

On another topic - I am involved in the process of re-writing the vendor/product eligibility criteria for the "producer-only" Athens Farmers Market. I'd personally like to see our market take a stronger local resiliency oriented approach but we also have a strong locavore movement who appear to have a narrower view on such things in terms of local food/farm grown products, etc.

Have you run across any related articles, threads on this topic? We're into the nitty-gritty of definitions. I found a great UK site with FARMA criteria but nothing much from the US community in terms of specific definitions and clarifications. Thanks.

Please reply to info@broadwellhill.org as I don't get over to Transition US as much as I used to (mainly involved with T Ohio at this point) and I'm not sure if I am emailed when I get comments or emails on this site.

Love,

kj

Hello there Bob. Looks like you are still in the thick of helping great things happen. Sweet! jim

I've got a working setup for streaming video. I still have some issues I'd like to resolve but the whole idea is very possible. The issues are less technical and more about getting rid of adds and watermarks. All the tools are out there, we just have to put them together and go. Perhaps we can discuss it sometime...

Wow you look busy! You don't know me, but I'd like to be a friend. You are friends with my partner ( Dr. Kathy McMahon Peak Oil Blues). I bet we can learn a lot from you!

Bob, I just did a search and came up with Justin.tv, a live streaming video site. I've set up an account and will do some testing. It looks like we can set up a password to limit access if we want. That might be useful in getting permission from the filmmaker. I'll check back in when I know a little more.
