Next Portland meeting - and website changes

Dec 11th, 7 pm - Lucky Labrador pub at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Come join us, lift a glass of brew if you’d like, and join in discussion.

Our focus lately has been sustainability and what we can do to make things better locally. Working outward from our own lifestyles, to the neighborhoods, city and region. Putting our actions in line with our most fervently held beliefs, and doing positive, uplifting things to help make the world better. Because that’s the most effective way to take responsibility for each of own lives. We love where we live, and are exploring the possibilities.

We’re currently working on food supply and personal strategies. Taking a cue from the recent experiences of San Diego, what do you take with you when you have to evacuate for 3 days? Non-perishables, necessary meds, clothing, etc. Do you have an earthquake kit? Do you live on a flood plain, and understand exactly what that means?

Last time at our local Cascadian discussion group meeting, we decided to make this site more of a community portal and interactive site. So check back to see what develops, we’ll be adding areas for discussion and emphasizing sustainability and grassroots action.
