Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Hastings-Sunrise
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...
Share Economy for what we can do ourselves. Consumer Unionization to maximize needs fulfillment, satisfaction and comfort when engaging industry. Along with Interactive Democratization to allow for meaningful levels of equality to be sustained through any decision making process.
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 am a hands on person that can quickly pick up skills, but I am also a great organizer and planner. My recent interests have centered around the coordination of the inputs and outputs of people's abilities to engineer efficient affinity networks based on need and preference.
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?
Affinity networking as a way of critically analyzing what you need and why you think you need it. Equipped with this information, whole groups are able to coordinate the economic demand that their consumption generates to regulate and predict the supply that will be required at a future point in time. Using modified social networks, along with analog survey and word of mouth media, these affinity networks can redistribute the economy in a truly utilitarian way to maximize the efficient sustainability of our society.
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.
