This is a coordinating group for those who are working with their neighborhood and community Transition Initiatives. We offer inspiration, ideas and tools to create vibrant Transition Initiatives.
Thanks for these resources, Scott. I really appreciate what Les is doing on the Global Transition in Action site and try to follow his lead with regards to using new techniques. Shall we try a Skype meeting for our Hub group sometime? I read the Transition Business comments by Rob Hopkins too.
A few years ago I began working on the Sustainable Documentation Projectfor Sustainable Bellingham. It's not all that you're looking for (a matrix of ideas, info, and actions), but it does have a lot of the "info." Hasn't been updated in a while, but its definitely worth checking out.
I was impressed by the organization and comprehensive planning of Jerry and Ginny in Goshen. When I noticed an interest by the other groups I thought that an easily duplicatable 'template' is the key to sharing successes and wastes of energy for any Trans. folks delving into developing all of the key and possible components leading to comprehensive and efficient programs far and wide. I'm no expert at working websites, or in sustainability, I'm just a guy who does A LOT of online networking who is trying to help to get the right folks together to make this kind of thing happen. That's why I started this discussion; In the hopes that the more experienced members would chime in with guidance and suggestions to get a truly global alliance organized.
I got the idea from S'Connects green building matrix concept.
I can copy and share info, and ideas with the national hub type groups, and if other regional hubs do the same I believe the information Matrix will become self perpetuating. but that's about as far as My experience can, and hopefully will need to take this.
