Once again, the organic industry is under assault. As we alerted you earlier this year, Monsanto is eager to resume the marketing and sale of their Roundup Ready™ alfalfa.
Fortunately, the possibility that Monsanto’…
Hi Sid, if you still need a bike you can call my friend Glen, he has a buddy that rebuilds them and gives them to people that need them. His number is 602-446-9407. He does not have an answering machine, so keep trying if you do not reach him right…

Thank you for this info - Mountain Vista recycling is now available in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley - look em up on the web - it's not too expensive.
Hi all,
As some of you may already know, I am relocating to northern California to start a new life. Part of that "transition" will be a new radio program in downtown Ukiah (soon to be a Transition Town) at the Mendocino Environmental Center.

I agree with Mary Lou, the brick idea has been around for a long time BECAUSE IT WORKS. Low flow toilets are nice for new construction, but rather than replace your toilet just put brick in it! There are also other water displacement products, infla…
The Hadley Farmship and the workers co-op I am forming are exactly along these guidelines. I will accept money without conditions attached if it is given, not loaned.
Great to hear from you Terri.
One of the best ways you can prepare for the future is to train yourself to become an entrepreneur -- essentially a person that makes their own economic opportunities. It's going to become a major differentiator between those that succeed and those…
Yes they have the right idea, I am moving near there very soon, just got a piece of land near there. Willits and Ukiah are both very progressive in their thinking, and way ahead of us. Ukiah wants to be a Transition Town...
Great blog, Randy, thanks for that. Here are my thoughts about energy transition:
1) You are absolutely correct when you say this will not be a fast transition. There is no way we can change overnight. First we have a lot of denial, and will need c…

I think there is some confusion here.

Oh, and BTW: Neither AZHGS or the Permaculture Guild would post T4T as an event on their sites, that is not very community minded either.
Thanks Nayeema, and yes, due to the stress of my personal problems I will admit I may be more sensitive than normal, and I do not wish to let the negativity I am experiencing in my personal life affect my ability to be non-judgmental, but I DO feel…
Hi Terri,
I am very sorry to hear about your personal troubles. You are indeed in a difficult situation, and are trying to do things you believe in despite problems in your personal life. I admire your grit and sympathize with you. I am sure we all…
As I said, it was not you, but the comment, and I know you are not an elitist. I agree with your assessment that it is cool, but I was applying your statement to a broader meaning, and I apologize if that is not the way you meant it, just the way I…

The Bots Are Here Be Aware! It is TOO LATE TO STOP THEM!
Bots are software algorithms or formulas that are specifically designed to perform repetitive patterns, actions or duties. We are using them (or they are using us) daily, without even knowing it. We need to be aware of them, and participate in the process of evaluating them. Here is a good presentation on the subject courtesy of the Global Guerrilla:

Listen to my new show on KMEC FM 105.1 @ http://www.kmecradio.org/ Every Other Saturday!
Hi all,
As some of you may already know, I am relocating to northern California to start a new life. Part of that "transition" will be a new radio program in downtown Ukiah (soon to be a Transition Town) at the Mendocino Environmental Center.
It has long been my dream to host a show at a radio station in the downtown of a small American town, ala the show "Northern Exposure", and that has now become a reality. This show will be a forum for the locals to use to discuss issues, listen to good mu… Continue

From the Global Guerillas: Entrepreneurship as Resilience
One of the best ways you can prepare for the future is to train yourself to become an entrepreneur -- essentially a person that makes their own economic opportunities. It's going to become a major differentiator between those that succeed and those that fail in a harsh global system (this expertise has been deprecated by a system that prides itself on manufacturing salaried consumption bots). So, as your salary melts away, your pension evaporates, or your job gets outsourced -- here's a quick gu… Continue

- good Morning Terri: Are these two web sites and the people attached the only things going in AZ? I have been searching for something to join, you know an actual movement with meetings, objectives, and organization? Thnx for the Transition info. It looks promising, but again someone has to get it started.
Are we it? If we are I don't think we are doing enough, or I do not how to connect.
I am going to that cuba movie, I'm hopeful for that function.
I have already been studying the Cuba model and am excited about that.
I wish I could go to Cuba or Bolivia and get dirty.
I turned my back on revolution when I screamed about Nicaragua in the 80's and my social network told me to shut up and have fun (long as I worked sixty hours a week).
I now see that as a mistake and take personal responsibility for the evil that the American Empire has perpetrated over the intervening thirty years.
Not in a prima donna way, just acknowledging that I knew what was going on thirty years ago and chose to not do anything about it. I wish I hadn't.
The transition movement sounds applicable.
Though I am enjoying the hell out of learning to raise food and working on my permie site, my first love is philosophy and politics. My project must still come first, but I will not be satisfied untill I am actively working with an organization that has the potential to initiate great change.
There are many directions to take, I need one to focus on.
I too, am a revolutionary---glad you're here--charly

- Hi Terri- Charly here from the permie site. How are you? Now this Transition Towns Movement has my attention. I'm sorry I didn't jump all over your common bank activities, I'm not much of a banker. I am a politician and am searching for an outlet for my desire to effect change. You are abviously very active (would you call yourself an Activist?) Talk to me about Transition. I'll do some research when I have time, but I'd like your take on it.

- sounds wonderful. I have been thinking that edible landscapes, especially herb gardens, could be part of birthing centers, midwives offices, senior care centers, centers for rehabilition - both for developmentally disabled and physically disabled. Nothing like digging and growing plants to heal the spirit and rejuvinate the body!

- Hi Terri,
very nice photos. And thank you very much for posting the transition town pdf and info. Very educational.
I learned about transition towns only recently after joining this forum. I have been thinking for some time about how local communities can be developed in Phoenix that derive at least part of its income from agriculture and is at least partially off the grid, and finally decided to put in down in a blog. Until I joined this network I did not know how to find people interested in these issues. I would welcome your thoughts on my blog 'sustainable communities' and any suggestions on how these ideas can be shared with more people. Welcome to azhs.
