Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Dunbar
- Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
- community-building, shopping local, renovating homes rather than allowing wholesale demolition of well-built, renovated homes by spec builders. Incredible amount of waste of homes and mature landscaping. New builds have no room for gardens or trees so more urban agriculture on residential properties a moot point.
- There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
- I love gardening, have always composted. Believe that if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Have an interest in groups such as the Coalition to Save the Hollywood, Vancouver Character Homes Network. Believe more effort to put to better use food wasted by grocery stores (imperfect, not inedible). Should go to shelters, schools with underfed/undernourished children but there should be community kitchens set up. After school programs at target schools should teach home-ec and the food prepared is fed to students at the breakfast and lunch programs.
- What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?
- City should not continue to preach Greenest City if it continues to waste homes and landscaping -– we should strongly encourage renovation and should not have any reason to ship garbage to Washington State. Some say we are doing a great job at being Green, I don't think we've done nearly enough and think people need to be made much more aware -- but I have a hard time teaching children to green bin their food waste when houses and trees are bulldozed and taken to landfill.
- I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
- Yes
