Is this group active any longer? And are there any freelance writers in the group? I'd love to connect with you.

I joined this group because your group description matches me to a T.

Rob Hopkins had an interesting interview with Michael Shuman, author of "Going Local."

 

 

A Rob Hopkins Interview with Michael Schuman: If We're Serious About Localisation, "All of us have to go to business school"  (Transition Culture)

 

"I was honoured last week to be able to interview Michael Shuman, who has long been one of pioneers of thinking on the question of localisation. It was a fascinating conversation…

 

My last question is, in order for Transition Towns projects to take a step up and make this happen….what skills and what abilities to we need to learn, bring on board? What tools and resources do we need to move forward?

I would say two or three things. The first is I think that all of us have to go to business school. We have to realise that even if we’re going to be advocates of local economies, we have to be those economies and model those businesses that we want out there and prove concept wherever possible.

The second thing is it is the political majority, the listening….rather than trying to beat those on the right that people just instinctively distrust, I think it’s about embracing those with different political views and finding the right ideological and philosophical mix that gets us from here to there.

I think the last piece is seeing ourselves as part of the problem. Our consumption dollars, what drives the system, our investment dollars provide the foundation for the system. The more that we can create alternative systems by channelling our consumption and investment and convince others these are great ways of living, and consistent with what we’re trying to achieve long term, I think that’s the way we’re going to succeed."

Hey Renata!  Can you add me to your email list for meetups for Co-working Community?   I rarely sign on to facebook so I don't get the invites that way.  It would be great to hear an update of how things have been going, and have a post here with the days we gather.

It will be great to see you this Thursday! i plan to go to Cornwall from Bloom. Where we should tell the group to meet at the park? I don't know it to point to a good gathering spot. Would you be willing to pick one and post on the Community Living page?
