Profile Information

"How are you involved in preparing for the changes that peak oil, economic instabilty and climate change are bringing, and in creating resilience and sustainable life style in our communities?"

Not involved yet - just interested

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?

Interest stems from impending necessity due to climate change, peak oil, over-populated world, corrupt economic system, etc.
I also do intensive gardening - am interested in sustainable living for all people, reducing man's impact on the earth and living within its natural boundaries.

How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?

Not sure yet - but I have lots of gardening & farming experience, & have studied Architecture & Landscape Architecture at the Univ. of Michigan, & have a degree in Plant & Soil Science from the Univ. of Vermont, & have read lots of books on sustainability - a topic I've been interested in for over 35 years.
