Erik Jamieson Blair's Page
Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Strathcona
- 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...
- urban ag, holistic energy systems, human/environment ecology, potlucks, communications, community building with understanding and acceptance, design, planning
- 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'm interested in the assets of any community, in fact, in discovering the assets of any community. I want to learn. I am an urban/regional planning student, I focus mainly on planning communications using multimedia. I am also a student of facilitation and conflict resolution, and have a major interest in food, energy systems and non-motorized transportation. My skills range from writing, comms, multimedia, group facilitation, to diving head first into learning something on the spot.
- 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?
- I would like to see people doing what makes them happy! I would like to see growth that is manageable, resilient, and based on democratic consensus. I don't believe that once you elect a council, you "deal with the outcome". There must be better avenues for change. We need better energy resiliency, we need more abundant and healthy food networks, and we need to change the behavioural norms of our micro/macro-societies towards more ecologically oriented consumption and decision-making so that these changes might bubble up.
- 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
- Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.
- Broadening my networks and contributing to a movement that should be thought of as rational, not radical.
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!
