Hi Myrto,
I did some looking at the rainwater harvesting changes. I wrote them up in my blog:

There are some pilot projects allowing new developments to store rainwater,…
I'll add (the thread is a little old, but anyways) that the change in the rainwater harvesting law is not as far-ranging as it sounds. Only people off municipal water are legally allowed to store rainwater. This means that HOAs and anyone seriously…

Hi Ethan,
I'm currently enrolled in a Permaculture Certification program and moved to Boulder myself from Northern California six years ago. Boulder is on a forward-thinking roll these days and I personally enjoy the social climate that promotes cha…
Dear Transition Boulderites,
While I don't currently live in Colorado, I am a young activist for local sustainable agriculture & permaculture design, and I've started to strongly consider moving to Boulder. During the last 2 years, I was working wi…
Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- This year I've been involved with the Food Working Group of Transition Santa Cruz, CA.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I've been deeply involved with grassroots environmental activism and sustainable agriculture since 1999. I wrote the essay, "Peak Oil and Community Food Security," and was co-founder of an international network for action confronting the root causes of climate change. It's exciting to see the emergence of the Transition movement, which expands the kinds of work I've been doing to a much wider base of people.
- What background and skills do you bring to this community?
- Sustainable agriculture; permaculture design; grassroots & community organizing; writing
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?
- I'm interested in the possibility of moving to Boulder, CO. With the recent liberalization of Colorado's rainwater catchment law, it seems there may now be a great opportunity to start creating a lot more permaculture design & rainwater harvesting systems at people's homes.

Sustainable Greenhouse Design at Denver Botanic Gardens
February 6, 2010 from 1pm to 5pm
Have you ever wondered if it could be done? Can you create a greenhouse that needs NO supplemental heating year round? – the answer is yes!! This greenhouse design, involving stored water as thermal mass and our bountiful Colorado sun, can be used w…
I can only speak to my own experience. For most of my life I took the lead from my father and his cohorts in developing my worldview. When he died (a personal catastrophe), I took a few years to examine every aspect of my life -- including my values…
Hi Paul,
Sorry for the delayed response. Life got way too busy in December. I'm out of town right now but will be back by January 1st. I'll call you to discuss what we did at the library and to see what we all can cultivate for 2010 in Colorado :)
Hi All. Good to be part of this group. I'm planning on coming to the watershed meeting in January. Pavlos, I'll rsvp soon.
