- White Rock
- 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...
- Environment - Sustainability, urban homesteading - organics - pesticide free, potlucks, organizing events
- 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 am still quite new in networking - I have been reading more and attending talks, documentary airings, and local community gathering to do with environmental issues like GMO's, Pesticide Free, and most recently connected with a group on a 2012 challenge to not buy or aquire any one use disposable plastic and to lessen the plastics that surround us in our home. This is a family effort for us and we are enjoying this oportunity. I have a garden and am intersted in learing more in this area also. I am keen to get involved or help out in the area of sustainable living, reducing our impact, organic home gardening and food production. I have been home with my kids for 7 years, but prior to this I worked with the City of White Rock and City of Surrey in the Recreation Department and have experience with with overseeing projects, programming, special events etc. In Uvic I did my degree in Leisure Service Administration and took various elective courses including environmental educaiton.
- 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?
- We need to get info out there about our negative impact on the environment. Educating our businesses and schools. Teach people how to consume less (they have lost this ability our ancestors had), reduce reuse and recycle more, start composting. Surrey needs to get moving with the Compost Program and starting to move away from weekly garbage pick ups. Start looking at what is going in the garbage and look at how to get it out of there!!!
- 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
- Don't feel like answering all the questions now? No worries, just tell us briefly why you're interested in joining at this time, and you can come back and update your profile later.
- My goal for 2012 was to start making connections and getting involved in Enviroment issues, learning more and then helping to get the word out. The way to create a change is through leadership, example, and education.
Village engages individuals, neighbourhoods & organizations to take actions that build sustainable communities & have fun doing it. Join us!
