Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- New member in Longmont.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I am interested in volunteering my time for the movement.
- What background and skills do you bring to this community?
- I have several years' experience in gardening vegetables. My husband and I grew a huge garden last summer and close to 70% of our food came from the garden. We even continue growing things in the winter by growing herbs and greens in a sunny window. In addition, I have an interest in green building and straw-bale construction and my husband and I attended a straw-bale workshop for one weekend.
I am always interested in ways of reducing waste, improving the local economy, expanding alternative energy, and minimizing dependence on oil. I am also interested in exploring new types of housing (compact housing and green housing) to reduce environmental impact. I am currently studying technology for building solar hot water heaters.
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?
- I can help by volunteering my time. I have extensive computer experience and I am a professional software engineer, so I can contribute in a diverse number of ways. I have gardening experience, as I mentioned before, so I can contribute by talking about the benefits of growing a garden. I also have research experience and I am interested in researching technologies to reduce waste and energy consumption.
- Suggestions you have for improving our Registration questions. Getting to know you better.
- You could ask about a person's hobbies.

Donald Studinski said… - During my lunch today from 2 - 3 I drove over to your place and "snooped" around a bit. I knocked at the front door, but only dogs said hi. I walked around staying outside the backyard gate. Eventually, I saw the flight path of the bees and got to see your hive. It looks really cool. Kind of like a house from where I was standing on the drive way. Nice. I love what you did with the cukes growing up-side-down. That's cool!
Anyway, if one of your neighbors says "some guy with a pony tale was walking around your place" ... well, that was me.
Hugs ... Don
