Thanks Rob- I did see that article!<br />
<br />
I got a promo "shoppers" Herald publication the other day, and was really happy to see Julie Shirley's article, "Urban areas of "micro-farming"". Its just a blurb, mostly about raising chickens but the HERALD! I was thrilled. I shouldn't be surprised, I think Julie is a TW member so she can see how much is going on around here.

Thanks Rob. Jan told me he talked about Transition Whatcom in his latest peak moment interview, but I haven't had a chance to view it yet. Peak Moment TV is coming through our area soon for more northwest interviews.

"Jan Spencer didn’t stop with a permaculture makeover of his suburban home in Eugene, Oregon. Now he’s taking on the neighborhood! As a result, his neighborhood association is teaming up with city programs like Neighborhood Watch and Emergency Response to empower neighbors to work together. They’re transforming lawns and abandoned lots into edible gardens, and sharing knowledge about energy efficiency, permaculture, and preparedness. These grass roots endeavors help people feel more secure in their homes, because they’re connected with neighbors they can rely on. (suburbanpermaculture.org)."<br />

Good news hard to come by today, but I ran across a great idea today on Mother Earth News...decorate your bike on the 4th of July! Get patriotic and show your true colors...can we make it a good old American value to ride a bike instead of a car? Sounds fun anyway- I'm going to try it. So if you see a crazy lady with red, white and blue streamers on her bike- that could be me!
