In the context of Transition Towns my interests / passions are:
Sharing knowledge & education of communities,
Developing proactivity and skills to live in a sustainable future
What are you happy to share about yourself:
Been originally from Germany I grew up with great awareness of environmental issues and the importance of sustainabilit. I never owned a car until coming to Auckland four years ago, and did not need to due to the cycle spirit and great cycle infrastructure back there.
I have a background in the health industry, working as a physioytherapist and naturopath of late.
Where do you live (City or Town):
Auckland

What would be a great contribution would be for you to start a group called Health Care and invite those who have already mentioned that their job is in the field. Relocalisation of services to avoid transport e.g. emergency services, what medicines will get constantly dearer and out of reach etc etc
Hi Sandra, I just stumbled across your page - I'm from Germany as well and never owned a car before I came here either ;-))). Can very much relate to that. Interesting what you say about awareness of environmental issues etc. That awareness is there, but I see hardly any awareness over there of peak oil - just believe in techno-fixes. No understanding about how it big the implications are going to be - maybe not so much in the transport sector, but economy, agriculture etc. I'm trying to convince some of my friends, but that's hard too.
Anyway - enjoy the ning! Cheers, Natalie
