Movie looks like it's good. Environmental lobbying day in Springfield, however,
and also another event downtown. Pretty booked for the day, it seems.
Transition Rogers Park Film Series - No Impact Man at No Exit Cafe
March 10, 2010 from 7pm to 9pm
Colin Beavan decides to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for the next year.
It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, busses,…
Let's continue awareness raising. Didn't make it to a previous showing? Want to invite friends? Host a movie in your home or a more public setting. We have these films available...
This group is a place where we can question the stories that underpin our failing civilisation, examine the stories of other traditions, and perhaps craft new ones that will serve us better as we transition into the future.

Fermentation workshop at Milton's house Sunday, December 6, 6pm-8pm.
We'll be making chickpea miso and making/tasting wine/mead/cider.
Bring a snack or beverage to share.
Very wonderful and worthwhile project. I'm sure someone will turn up for composting, though not me. Rafi Bratman has been doing some gardening with his Sunday School class. He might be able to help, though his gardeners are younger than yours, but e…

We can't think of a better way to spend an almost summer's night than to…

Hi,
You pups sure are energetic, which, as an old school guy, I have to admire.
1. I'm not a master gardener, only limited experience myself.
2. I think the U of I may do soil testing...
3. There is no "Chicago soil" underneath. There is Chicago cla…
The rosemary is doing fine, and looks healthy, and provides me with as much as I generally need and can use. The basil got all wild and leggy, and I think I'll start over with a store bought plant, but I may try to take cuttings from what's left jus…
I have rosemary and basil that made it through the winter indoors. Anyone know how to take cuttings and plant them? I've heard it's much more reliable than starting from seeds. I think basically you just cut a branch and stick it in water to

Hi, I wish to tell a short story.
In the year 2000, Time Magazine did it's "Person on the Century Issue", with the intent of finding the "most influential" person of the 20th century. They collected hundreds of names from thousands of submissions.
The winning "person of the century" was Albert Einstein. This pleased me, (especially as a Jew of German descent), and seemed appropriate in the scheme of things.
The runner up was Mahatma Gandhi. A very good arguement could be made for his choice as… Continue

Our first workshop was terrific - we'll be doing a second one. And - we'll be working in our front yard in a few weeks (after the chickens arrive). Any interest in helping out?

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!
