Hi, Megan,
May you have life, and have life abundantly.
Thrivability does it for me, the same way abundantly does.
Why live our lives in limitation, when there is so much good energy to share. Our bodies/spirits are not repositories of fossilized…
I would like very much to go to my folks' sixtieth annivesary in Iowa at midyear 2011. I went to my travel agent and she isn't taking me very seriously when I said I wanted to use any means of efficient and relatively fast and cheap travel, other th…

This from a recent international conference of climate scientists in England:

"Tara - Into the Heart of the Climate Machine" is amongst the best of the many very good films featured at the Reel Earth Environmental Film Festival this year. It follows the journey of Sir Peter Blake's ship as staffed by climate scientists, acros…
Films can awaken and inspire. What are you watching? Got a good DVD to share?
I just finished reading Margaret Atwood's new one, "The Year of the Flood." It just came out in bookstores and libraries at 26 Sept.
It is a very loose sequel to her "Oryx and Crake," examining a post-apocalyptic world from after genetic engineerin…
Good on ya, sorry I can't come (am working in Palmy, Sat night).

Hello folks, I just saw The Age of Stupid, and how can I not join this discussion group. I need inspiration and ideas, to help me avoid flying.
In many ways it is a decision that makes me feel like I have to choose family or the planet, eh? I mean,…
We love the freedom of cheap air travel but we love our climate (and the people it supports) much more.
This group is dedicated to the exploration of low carbon travel and the joys that come from choosing quality over expedience.

Tazia Gaisford said… - Hey Jay,
I reckon Climate Camp will be a really amazing experience. I haven't been to one but I really like the principles and objectives of the Camp. You can join the announcements list and working group mailing lists on the website www.climatecamp.org.nz
There are a couple of newsletters of the website now that give some info of the camp and what's been happening around the country.
The site will only be announced a few days before the camp but I guess some indication of area will be given before then? Not sure about that though. The site will be relatively close to Wellington.
There will be a film screening later this month in Wellies at the Newtown community centre. That should be announced on the announcement mailing list.
Hope to see you there!

Symone Krimowa said… - Hi Jay,
I am partially from the US as I was born there but then moved to NZ when I was young. Which state are you from? And, don't you just love it here?!

Georgina Morrison said… - Hiya Jay,
Wow I didn't know there were many 'Greenies' in Palmy! I worked there for a few years and studied there before that. I always found being Green a little of an uphill battle... nice to know it does exist. The next time I'm coming through I might have to track you down for a coffee - it's pretty close to home for me (Pahiatua) so you never know :)

Lindsay Alderton said… - Hey Jay, just replying to your msg that came through from social innovation camp...no, I didn't make it through there on Saturday, although did make it to Home (which was beautiful but very disheartening)...were you here for the Freeze on Friday...it went ice-stronomically!
