The last one is pretty great - And I like the idea of space for tables, rain barrels, composters. James - what are your thoughts how these designs may work with your cistern idea?

HEART AND SOUL
There's much more involved in the transition than changing light bulbs. We need a whole realignment of thinking. We need to ask the questions of how we got here in the first place and how do we meet our hungers without so much consumption?

Profile Information

Where do you live?
Rogers Park
Why are you choosing to join Transition Rogers Park?
Just moved to the neighborhood, and am excited about creating a community of production and joy. Growing both food, herbs and flowers is so important to me, and I think valuable for everyone who witnesses, whether they take part in the work or not. I'd love to help this happen!
What background or talents do you have that you can contribute to Transition Rogers Park?
I've been a lifelong gardener with my mom, who was a horticulturalist and always grew a sizable vegetable garden. I am a great weeder, and always have time to help weed and water!

Transition Rogers Park is a grassroots, from the ground up, community organization. No one is going to tell you what to do and how to do it.

If you have a thought or idea that could move the community forward toward resiliency and self-reliance, put it out there....and then begin it!
