Jay Robinson replied to Deirdre Kent's discussion This social networking site has a major decision to make about its future, please read

"I would support Renee Lee's social networking efforts. At least we need to compare it in the same manner as the others. Barring that, I could go for integrating the two current TT sites in NZ into one (thanks Rimu for your previous work as…"

Profile Information

I found out about Transition Towns...: Other

In the context of Transition Towns my interests / passions are:: Helping us all to get to a post-petroleum-addiction phase. Time is running out!

Best thing we can do is act locally, building up community whereever we live. We can also look individually at our lifestyle habits; e.g., go vegan or vegetarian, use way less energy, and eat organic.

What are you happy to share about yourself:: I am green at heart, and committed to tenets of nonviolence in everyday life and in the larger world.

I will be back in NZ at some point; I am sojourning in Oz just now.

Where do you live (City or Town):: Morwell, Victoria, Australia

Skype Address (optional, but very helpful for collaboration) Install Skype from http://skype.com/download: jay_l_robinson

Do you belong to a Transition initiative in New Zealand?: I live out of NZ

We're designing it so that our resources (the currency itself, the web site) could easily be used in other areas in the region & therefore skip the cost, so if you come across folks who would like to recruit a cluster of businesses in their own PN neighbourhood, get in touch. We're looking at a late May launch (perhaps third sunday in May?) at the Ashhurst Village Valley Centre. Still to be confirmed. Right now, I'm just trying to put together a steering committee for oversight of grant spending, direction, etc.

I found the site yesterday and listed the groups with live link in my first blog where I will be updating it with new evolving groups in the process of setting up.

I will be checking out all that is available here as time allows. Do you have any links noting a list of NZ groups already established and/or in start up phase either in this or another system?

I wish to list them in my blog here for quick access, thanks. I do see that there are NZ groups who are utilising the CES software who are listed on timebanks.org website.

Since I joined the site, I've actually dropped the degree programme you asked about, and am making a documentary about Peak Oil, sustainability, and building resilience (see my profile for more info). So if you know of anything film-worthy, please let me know! (This applies to anyone else who sees this post too.)
