How are you currently involved in the Transition?: cultivating resilient system design skills, transforming resource intensive lawns into resource producing edible landscapes, advocating for a pedal powered Bellingham
I'm focusing on transforming my pessimistic perspective and my fatalistic tendencies into positive action. I believe this a very crucial task in the Transition and one I could use support in. If you catch me displaying my old ways please fell free to give me a nudge and ask "How can you/we transform (fill in the blank) into positive action?" Thanks for your help.

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: concern about peak oil
interested in orgainizing with like minded people to design/ create resilient systems

Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?: interests: permaculture, urban agriculture, rainwater harvesting, small scale low tech greywater systems, low tech human powered machines

skills: CAD drafting, rainwater harvesting system design

Do you have any info on ecological fluidized beds ?? Big words for residential black water system like Jack Todd has in his Maine house with (3) 50 gal. drums in his daylight basement and a septic tank outside.
I had a video link in one of the Garden e-news..... I'd love to see someone do a prototype of this system locally.
