FoodLocal, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here. |

TransportationIf you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around. |

HousingA human right? After food, many feel shelter is our second most important need. Community lies in there somewhere. This category is for all things relating to home, shelter, housing, affordable housing, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general. |

EnergyRenewable, carbon-based, local, regional, cross-border, steamed from tar, extracted from the wind, waves, or sun, energy is the stuff of modern human life. We can live without it, but few of us would. Rather, we waste it with abandon. Here is the place to discuss our relationship to the powerful force that is nature's fury. Wield it carefully, or not at all. |

Jan 23 BC Hydro to raise rates paid for renewables by Rob Baxter |
EconomicsPolitics is tactics, economics is strategy. If you want to change the world, change the economic relationship between people, their terms of trade, their relative economic value in the global "marketplace." If the heart of politics is local, the basis of economics is your wallet. Vote with it. That vote will count for more than every plebiscite you attend. Here is where we discuss the financial ties that bind us together, and rip us apart. Lets make it the former, and lets first put us on an equal footing. |

EcologyPerhaps not the only reason for Transition, but maybe the most important, our Environment is by far the most difficult to "fix" after it is damaged. It also has ways of taking our predations back out on us. Global warming is hurting, and killing, millions every year. Here is where we can discuss how to protect Gaia, or at least to hurt her less. |

Equity, or Social JusticeOne of the three core principles of sustainability, along with ecology and economics, equity (aka social justice) is critical to motivate and manage a stable and lasting Transition. |
