we've got a blog! very exciting

hi everyone


that was such a good start to our project.

i think that' s the recipe for movement building

a sweet potluck dinner and good intentions .


i want this blog to be a place for lots of free thinking and posting

so let me start the ball rolling with some semi-randomish jibberish...

        (with a purpose)


let' s use this blog to gather our ideas, to think collectively when we are not together, and to organize work parties, and whatever else.

i really like the idea of getting together for workparties, where some earth friendly activity is suggested and then whoever wants can show up.  For example, I need help putting up the fence at the community garden.   So how about next Monday at 6, whoever can, meet at the Rec center.

I am going to make a sign for my farmer market booth inviting people to join the SEA.

Dinner at my house next week at 7 on Wednesday.   Invite everyone interested.

In between, let's get stuff done.

I particularly want to start gathering ideas about things we  can do for the community.

I intend to write up something about the Transition Town movement to help get us thinking about that as an organizing tool.

Tell me what you all are thinking about!



in green,

Theo
