Sandpoint Transition Initiative: Learning as We Grow
This February, the Sandpoint Transition Initiative (STI) will be two years old; our official Transition Town status conferred in June 2008. It has been an adventurous collective experience that has offered the full spectrum of emotions, planning, challenges and celebration. This month, TUS is featuring a video we commissioned this past fall by Rob Hopkins. In true Rob fashion, it is inspiring, low key and asks us to rise to the next level of action and belief.
Sustainable Berea: Resilient Household Project
A year ago, in January 2009, an ice storm knocked out electricity throughout most of Berea for several days, and much longer in some outlying areas. If your house lost power, how did you make out? Some households were cold and uncomfortable, poorly fed, routines disrupted, unable to do much after dark but huddle under extra blankets and anxiously wait for the electricity to come back on. Other households stayed warm, enjoyed good hot food, and continued their work and other activities with little disruption. Some households were more resilient than others.
Sustainable NE Seattle launches a Transition Handbook Discussion Course
Sustainable NE Seattle has developed a six-week discussion course based on The Transition Handbook, and is now making the course available to other Transition Initiatives who want to offer it to their own members. "We're excited to let you know about a Discussion Course that we have created in our Transition Initiative (Sustainable NE Seattle). It's based on the Transition Handbook, and it's proving to be a great way to introduce and engage new people in the Transition model," said Leo Brodie.
