- Permaculture, community-building, potlucks
- 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 have basic permaculture training. I have an educational background in sustainable agriculture, policy, basic economics and business planning. I am currently working for the Cooperative Food Empowerment Directive, which is a support network for cooperatively run student food enterprises. I also work with the youth education programs at Southlands Farm.

Pleasure to meet you last night as well. I wanted to talk to you more about the Styro-free plan you have been working on. Haven't had a chance to check out the website yet, but will tell you that my partner and I are trying to live without any new plastics in 2012, and one of our main objectives was to work with Burnaby businesses to break the plastic habit - obviously excited to hear about the work you have done already!
Anyways, I will do some reading and get back to you, but would love to help on your project where I could. Let me know what you could use help wise and I will do my best.
Lets talk soon!

A belated welcome to Village Vancouver, Amy.
The Main Street Neighbourhood village is holding our monthly potluck dinner and presentation tonight (Tuesday, 7 June) at Little Mountain Neighbourhood House on Main Street at 24th Ave (adjacent to the library). Dinner and a free seed and food plant seedling giveaway start at 6:00 and then an urban gardening presentation and discussion begins at 7 for about an hour. Come and stay as long as you want, or just drop by at any time.
