How are you currently involved in the Transition?

Not involved. But want to get involved in the solar panel project that was mentioned after the movie last week.

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?

We are killing the earth. Maybe we are already too late. I feel like we are a fiddling while Rome burns. We need to engage in sustainable practices is as many ways as we can. The government won't do it. Corporations are taking control (have taken control) of this country and most others. We need to work against that.

Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?

I am an excellent writer. My profession was information design. I am very skilled at crafting the message and figuring out the best way to distribute it. I can produce video. I am very handy with tools and with building things.

In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?

South Hill

Where did you hear about Transition Whatcom and how did you find our community network website?
