Event Description

This is our second gathering of people organizing to start preparing the EDAP. This will be at my house. If you are not on the e-mail list with direction and address, please e-mail me at travis@greenconversion.net and I will add you and get you all the information.

This will not be a potluck, but everyone is encouraged to bring snacks and beverages to share.

Lia Ayley will be facilitating.

Children are always welcome.

Here is some useful reading:

Rob Hopkins summarizes the EDAP essence in the Transition Handbook.

“If your mental picture of the final EDAP is community planning documents you have seen before, think again. Your EDAP should feel more like a holiday brochure, presenting a localized, low-energy world in such an enticing way that anyone reading it will feel their life utterly bereft if they don’t dedicate the rest of their lives towards its realization.”

A recent article by Pat Murphy on the EDAP Process: http://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2011-02-01/transition-and-totnes-energy-descent-action-plan-edap

Also, the City of Bellingham's Final Report of their Energy Task Force has a lot of relevant information and is a must read. http://www.cob.org/documents/mayor/boards-commissions/energy/energy-task-force-final-report.pdf
