Sali Tetreault Santa goes Green

I was in a local store called H.O.P.E. which stands for helping other people every day. It is a wonderful little shop, with second hand clothes, books and housewares...but it also has a food shelf, and is the home of project prom (a free prom dress rental shop). My daughter volunteered at H.O.P.E. this summer and in my opinion this non profit truly has it going on. It's hip enough that teenagers to feel comfortable shopping there and what it does for the community is truly wonderful. But I am ge… Continue

Theo Talcott better bio-regional music scenes

we should drive less to see music, in cars that burn things anyway. maybe it could be a transition initiative to promote local music so people can be entertained nearby. maybe each town should have a solar generated music sound stage that encourages culture and gatherings of music. Music is a renewable, sustainable artform. bring Solarfest to the Middlebury commons! vermont should have a big music gathering place accessible by train. In the future it would be good to design concert/sports aren… Continue

Cindy Fallsen green kids

We are learning how to teach our kids how to be green. While it may be a bit cooler in our home, we strive to keep our Thermostat at a decent temp. We also have considered putting a timer on our Bathroom Fan that goes off in 15 minutes. When our kids ask about a cool house our set the timer (rather than flicking a switch), t… Continue

Theo Talcott A Statewide Conversation on Building Vermont's Food System

How can we build Vermont’s food system in the next ten years? That’s the central topic of a well-organized conversation that’s happening in 8 places across Vermont in the next month. The Farm to Plate Initiative and the Sustainable Agriculture Council are organizing local food summits. Farmers, food businesses and other stakeholders are being invited to say their piece. In the end, the state will spend some loot to make it happen. It sounds like government at it's best: trying to do good stuff… Continue

Carolyn Baker HUMANITY'S RITE OF PASSAGE: A WORLD TENDED BY ADULTS, By Carolyn Baker

For one who has perception, A mere sign is enough. For one who does not heed, A thousand explanations Are not enough Hajji Bektash Wali 13th Century Persian Mystic, During the past twelve months, it has been reassuring to see vast numbers of individuals in the United States awaken to the reality that life on this planet has profoundly shifted and will never be the same. Many have radically altered their career goals, spending and saving patterns, and their long-term priorities. Whe… Continue

Steven Landau Symtoms

Symptoms From: Catherine and Daily Musings When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when… Continue

Sali Tetreault Barter and Trade...Loving eggs

A few years ago, my husband and I decided to get some chickens. We decided to let them be free range as we have a 4 acre field in front our house...As they were to be free range, I liked to think of them as Gypsies and decided to paint their house like a Gypsy wagon with the words Happy Chicken Wagon boldly on the side. When I went to pick my chicks up from my friends house my husband loaded the Happy Chicken wagon into the back of the truck and down the road I went, with the help of my true far… Continue

Glenn S Business as Usual

I just put up my playlist embeds for the finished episodes (or chapters as I call them) to Business as Usual "the doomer sitcom". I hope some people here get something out of them. The language is often crude, as it often is in the workplace, and the satire biting. I am an equal opportunity offender here. You can watch it as a doomer or watch it as a denier and still find something to laugh about and characters to relate to. That was the intention, to pull in as wide an audience as possible and… Continue

Dennis Steele Free Vermont Radio

Free Vermont Radio needs your help. You buy local food and other Vermont made products but for some reason pushing Vermont made music is more difficult. We are going on our 4th month of broadcasting live Vermont made music at Free Vermont Radio and to be honest we have plateaued in the number of listeners. When I first took on this project I really thought it would be well accepted. However, it turns out that the youth seem to have th… Continue

Sali Tetreault The power of youth

It's been a busy couple of weeks here in the NEK, and Transition Caledonia has been active on the work party front. One of the main pieces of our community is that we are incorporating the thought of many hands make light work. Last weekend on Saturday the 19th we gathered at the homes of Paul and Audrey Tomasi and cut, split and stacked a lot of wood. This Saturday the 26th, we cleaned, cleared and moved wires in Elaine's basement in order to get her ready for weatherization. An 1812 house with… Continue
