Profile Information
- Why are you interested in the Transition movement?
- I have always been attracted to self-sufficiency. Now that I am retired and have more time for gardening, it's a natural extension of my previous interest. In addition, I would really like to know more about solar and wind power because energy costs are terrible!!
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- Growing food and shopping locally.
- What skills, talents, and resources do you bring to the Transition movement?
- Some organic gardening knowledge (but I'm always learning more, of course); some solar and wind knowledge; time
- Which topics within Transition most interest you, and what are you most interested in getting out of your involvement in the Transition Movement?
- Chickens, bees, gardening, baking with whole grains
- Organizations you belong to that might collaborate with Transition
- No others at present - on Slow Food emailing list though. Have no car - am a bus person and do not go out in the nighttime hours so a lot of meetings aren't possible for me to attend.

I cultivate several edible "weeds" in my garden beds and save seeds from them each year to be certain I have them always. Lucky you are retired and can spend more time gardening.

I was saying that I noticed you were interested in gardening I might be able to help out with that. Have gone to several of these Transition meetings .I find a great bunch of folks of all ages attempting to find and create their part in living in a loving way with our Great Mother. I'm also a naturalist and community organizer and yes someone that is a maturing baby boomer, shall we say. bunch of us have formed a Elder wisdom group in the riverwest area you might find of interest. So you can email me for further info. Be well and Happy Valentine's Day.

Christie Mole said… - Hi Darlene! Welcome to Transition Milwaukee! I enjoyed reading your comments on your profile - we are learning about and facilitating projects around the same items you're interested in. I encourage you to take a peak around our website to learn about upcoming events and the various workgroups that are gathered around specific topics. We get together in-person once a month at the Urban Ecology Center, which we call our "Hub" meetings. The next one is Monday, February, 22 at 6:30pm. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime! Hope to see you on the 22nd (if not sooner!) :)
