Refrigerators are usually one of a household's biggest energy drains, and if yours is more than 10 years old, you might realize substantial electric savings by replacing the thing. I noticed a steep drop in my usage in the billing period immediately…

Filmmaker Jeff Barrie offers hope as he turns the camera on himself and asks, “How can I make a difference?” In his journey Barrie explores the source of our electricity and the problems caused by e…
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?
Anything that can help us salvage our high rises is something we need to study. Most of our good older housing stock badly needs retrofitting with insulation and more efficient mechanical systems. If a 102-story bldg can benefit from "low tech" impr…
You are so correct-educating girls is a necessary first step towards curbing population growth.
Women's rights are crucial to curbing population, for only women who are free to plan their lives and reproduction can defy ancient cultural dictates to…
Great ideas! I'm glad I'm not the only one who saves her candlewax tailings to make new candles.
Re-use your plastic dry cleaning bags for the trash-just tie the "shoulder" end into a big, tight knot. It's as strong or stronger than most trash bags…
Profile Information
- Where do you live?
- 1228 W Pratt Blvd, 1N, Chicago, IL 60626
- Why are you choosing to join Transition Rogers Park?
- I believe that grassroots movements that begin with individuals exercising initiative to change the way they live and to change their communities from the ground up, at the lowest cost possible, trump costly, bureaucratic top-down government programs. The Transition Town concept permits for voluntary individual actions and contributions at all levels, individual solutions, making use of what you have, and flexibility in the implementation.
- What background or talents do you have that you can contribute to Transition Rogers Park?
- I was impressed, during the 70s, by the Club of Rome's "Limits of Growth" and have been struck, ever since, by how accurate were the predictions of resource depletion and population overshoot. Since then, I've desired to find more ways to live a better life with vastly reduced resource imputs, and am most of all interested in saving our cities and urban life in the face of severe contraction of available resources.

Refrigerators are usually one of a household's biggest energy drains, and if yours is more than 10 years old, you might realize substantial electric savings by replacing the thing. I noticed a steep drop in my usage in the billing period immediately following the installation of a newer fridge in my rental apartment, replacing a 30-year-old clunker with badly sealed doors that dropped a half-gallon of condensation on my feet every time I opened the door.

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!
