Grey Lynn 2030
I am a community independent standing with City Vision as a candidate for the Waitemata Local Board with the support of Grey Lynn 2030: Transition Community.
Grey Lynn 2030 is part of the international, grassroots Transition Towns movement, The goal of Transtion Towns is to bring people together to explore how we – as communities – can respond to the challenges and opportunities of climate change and peak oil. Transition Towns works on the belief that communities have within themselves the innovation and ingenuity to create positive solutions to the converging crises of our time. It encourages local communities to step into leadership positions.
Grey Lynn 2030 is a local response to these ideas. We are a participatory, community organisation promoting and engaging in building neighbourhood spirit and cooperation while working towards a vision of a positive, resilient, and sustainable community.
Grey Lynn 2030 and the transition town movement are not affiliated with any political party or religion.

Permaculture is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way.
The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions, rather than asking only one yield of them; and allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions.
Oil´s tipping point has passed, and the economic pain of a flattening supply will trump the environment as a reason to curb the use of fossil fuels, say James Murray and David King, in an article just published in the prestigious journal Nature.

For ANYONE that goes bush or camping now and then, is a serious tramper, or wants to up-skill incase of a natural disaster. This is the beginning of the survival kit you keep in your head rather than your backpack. Learn about shelters made from natural materials, wild food foraging, safe water gathering and filtering, and friction fire making. You´ll be surprised what you don´t already know.
