Friends and Colleagues - I've been approached by Tina Clarke of the Transition Towns movement about hosting a conversation with her this Sunday evening. Tina is in Rochester this weekend giving the two-day workshop on Transition Towns, and is staying with an old friend in Ithaca. She is interested in meeting with folks in the Ithaca area that are interested in sustainability, and curious about the model that is being developed in Britain and now in the U.S.
We will meet at 7:30 pm this Sunday, and view a short presentation on Transition Towns before we settle into a conversation about what people are learning in terms of co-creating more resilient local economies and coping with climate change and Peak Oil. If you are interested in joining us, please send me a quick rsvp. I am working on finding a meeting space, and I'd like to get a sense of how many would be likely to join us. We're lucky to have this chance to talk directly to someone deeply involved in the transition movement. Please email me if you plan to join us on Sunday evening. thanks, Gay *A Wonderful Model for Enhancing Community Vibrancy & Creating A More Secure World* Tina Clarke Transition Towns Trainer and Consultant, Sustainability Institute * www.sustainer.org* <http://www.sustainer.org/> WHEN: March 29, 7:30 p.m. WHERE: place to be determined after YOU rsvp! A handful of citizens in the U.K. asked the question: *how can our community increase our local economic resiliency and address the challenges and opportunities of rising energy costs and climate change?* They launched a new movement, “Transition Towns”, which is now spreading around the world. Tina Clarke is one of a handful of certified Transition Towns trainers in the U.S. Come hear why the Transition model has been so successful and connect with local people working on making our community more sustainable. Tina will share a slide presentation from the founder, Rob Hopkins, and other Transition Towns trainers.
