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!)
yes - in time when i get a better feel for what goes on :)
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.

About 350...parts per million of carbon dioxide molecules in the atmosphere.

The short, illustrated answer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5kg1oOq9tY (90 seconds).

How this message translates into people demonstrating and acting together the world over is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noPcVKf24rk&NR (2 mins) .

350.org founder and 40-year climate activist Bill McKibben explains why BC is soon to become "one of the main staging grounds of global warming" here: http://www.youtube.com/embed/XyVYXLvg2kE (longer at 40 mins).

Just like Village Vancouver, 350 is yet another way people can learn, teach, and mend their ways.

In my mind, it all comes down to entries on a balance sheet, a real balance sheet, one that accounts for not just all of our natural resources but in fact the entire entropy deficit (embodied energy) upon which human life depends.  

I learned in B-school that you can only manage what you measure.  

It is time to start measuring what is important.

Good to see you there tonight.  We need more hard-core measurers and managers to start changing how we measure and manage.

Food

Local, 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.

48 discussions

Transportation

If 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.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
