Linzi Martin joined Village Vancouver's group

Permaculture Village

Transition is based on, and inspired by, Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture. We will be approaching 'creating sustainable habitat' in many different ways: regular design & demonstration projects; Social permaculture; workshops. Permablitzes, Blitzes or Permaculture Energy Transfer or Pet Day are days that we go on site collectively create systems which cycle energy toward win win win economy. Food forests provide abundant gardens and parks…See More

Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: North Vancouver, West Vancouver

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...: growing more urban food
relocalizing our local economy

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!): North Vancouver as I live there.
I'm quite resourceful.
ACtivities to do with food (eg combining ingredients, sprouting, fermented foods, growing on a condo balcony)
, using fabric to make stuff for the home.
Probably lots more so bit like work in progress on this question

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?: Wish my condo strata council would see the bigger picture on allowing us to use those decorative (ha ha) planting areas for growing food.
Keeping an efficient and effective and affordable transit system with EASIER SYSTEM FOR CARRYING MY BIKE, as I can hardly lift my bike onto existing bike carrier
