Profile Information:

How are you currently involved in the Transition?
Mainly involved through River Haven Farm, putting on various workshops and attracting like minded people to work together and make change.
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
I want to live more sustainably.
Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?
I am a Mechanical Engineer and love to tinker. I can convert vehicles to run on vegetable oil as well as capable of other sustainable projects (micro hydro, greywater systems, rain collection, etc.). I drive a chevy Luv 4x4 running 100% on waste vegetable oil (no diesel at all, not even start/stop). I am also working on heating and generating electricity all with waste vegetable oil. I know that using fuel derived from food crops is not the solution to our pending energy crisis, but I feel it is a step in the right direction (or at least not a step in the wrong direction).
In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?
Samish

    Hey Travis

     

    Shannon Maris here..

    I have an opportunity to get a free Toyota camper van and I am wondering if it could be converted to diesel. I am waiting to here back from the owner on the year. model, cc's, etc.

    It has a blown engine so why not pop a diesel in it, instead of another gas engine.

    It's a toyota so I am hoping to find a re-manuf. replacement engine from overseas, or something more reasonably priced than a new engine from Toyota.

    Any tips or resources you have would be appreciated.

    Hello Travis. I visited your website....not sure how to go about purchasing, minimum? Family members of mine and I are interested in blueberries and the black current...also about the result of the fruit too. Thank you, kindly.

    Hi Travis,

    Are you selling berries this year? If yes I'm interested in blueberries and black currants.

    Thanks Angela MacLeod
