Day in and day out, we're shell shocked with depressing and, often, violent news about our world, about our neighbors, about us. If we were to truly believe that nothing is getting better, that hope and peace are found only in poems, we would lose the emotion of caring, of challenging the illusions presented to us. So, it's refreshing to find a mass of people who begin by taking that simple step, uttering that first word.
This is the mission statement of such a group, The Rogers Park Transition Towns Movement:
"create something new-a community where we "power down" and in so doing, build resillence...."
Check out the website and join in learning about food foraging this Sunday at the Glenwood Market. Power down and build resillence!
