In other words we managed to divert a significant amount of stuff from the wastestream!The April plastic recycling event will happen on Thursday April 19th. Currently, we accept the following categories of plastics: 1) soft plastics, i.e. any plastic bags, wraps or packaging, 2) hard plastics, i.e. any…See More

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
Arbutus Ridge-Kerrisdale-Shaughnessy
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, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
I am very interested in urban agriculture, permaculture, sustainable transportation, potlucks and sharing of food in general, community building etc.
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!)
Probably, but do not know for sure where my expertise will be helpful right now.
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?
Food production, transportation and affordable/sustainable housing for sure.
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.

Hi Malin,

No worries - good to know re: just making the minimum. How many people actually participated?

I mainly wanted to remind you re: the Newsletter deadline. It's getting a lot of hits (close to a couple thousand this month), so useful if we're a go. One option would be to post it as tentative.

Whatever you think works is fine by me. If we're a go this month, we can host if you don't have anyone else.

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.

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.

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.
