When I first moved to this isIand, I got involved in Transition Whidbey, our version of a Transition Town. We wound up winding it up, not because it failed, but because it was redundant. We are so rich in community organizations. We did talk about a currency, Whidbey Bucks, but it never quite took off.

This month I'm giving four talks on water, two to farming groups, and tonight I'll be part of a conversation on making the island more bicycle friendly. Many of these conversations include people I first met at TW. The transition spirit lives on!

Whidbey Bucks, Brixton Pound - euros attached to a town doesn't have the same ring, which is why I liked 'Estrelas'.

You sound busy! I love to imagine, when I'm having one of those conversations, that all over the world, others are doing the same. A kind of interconnectivity of anonymous spirit.

It's good to see your tribe's own conversations endure.
