- -Sustainability of food and resources in terms both economic and environmental aspects
-Alternative energy sources as opposed to ethanol
-Thinking possible ways to reduce ecological footprints for better community
- 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!)
- If I have more time aside from the work I have from my masters of food and resource economics program, I am interested in potentionally getting involved in the UBC Farm, Vancouver Coastal Health, and also the Vancouver food Policy Council.
- 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 anticipate improvements in fuel-efficient automobiles, distribution of land use in Vancouver city, and greener food supply in both large and small scale retailing stores alongside farmers' markets. Currently, I have just moved to Vancouver city. as of now, I am not entirely aware of new available projects.
- 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
