One idea that has been the center of our conversations is  how can we make the most impact given our own personal skills and situations.  And so, things have evolved.

I’ve commented before in these essays that one of the least constructive habits of contemporary thought is its insistence on the uniqueness of the modern experience. It’s true, of course, that fossil fuels have allowed the world’s industrial societies to pursue their follies on a more grandiose scale than any past empire [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=transitionchicago.org&blog=6996505&post=403&subd=transitionchicago&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The national healthcare movement was doomed from the start. TV clips of shouting matches at town halls and fear-mongering by cynical politicians may be lamentable, but we are witnessing something more profound than the collapse of civic discourse. The failure of a movement that could rightly claim over 70 percent public acceptance just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=transitionchicago.org&blog=6996505&post=401&subd=transitionchicago&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

CHICAGO (Reuters Life!) &#8211; Armed with pruning shears and a paper bag, Nance Klehm walks along a Chicago sidewalk, pointing out plants and weeds that can make a tasty salad or stir-fry.

Cold Spring, NY–It’s getting worse and worse, and the wizards don’t have a clue. They don’t even know the economy is broken-and can’t be fixed. That’s why they keep doing more of the same with the same old solutions and same old people.
Nothing could be more obvious, and I think most sentient people [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=transitionchicago.org&blog=6996505&post=390&subd=transitionchicago&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In bygone days, the environmental movement would often cast its lot with a &#8220;Save the [blank]&#8221; ideology that generally included non-human components such as &#8220;world&#8221; or &#8220;whales&#8221; or &#8220;spotted owls&#8221; in its formulation.
