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...
sustainable food systems, heirloom and land race vegetables, fruits and herbs, horticulture, agriculture, community currencies, biophysical economics, systems theory ecology, black swan theory, Fukuoka farming method, slow food, etc.
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 might be. I have a bit of experience with community and event organizing, such as with the Car Free Days, and various Work Less Party happenings. I am an experienced and trained horticulturalist, and I also have cooking, food prep and serving experience.
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?
Roof top, and vertical gardens should be installed everywhere. I would like to look into helping low income residents and homeless people to start a local currency in the Down Town East Side. Gentrification in the DTES and East Van is a big problem. There is also an abundance of amazing people doing amazing things in and around Vancouver.
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
