List of actual projects TT’s are doing elsewhere distributed
Nearby TT movement in Swarthmore, PA – will contact
Go round on what each person present would like to see happen w/ a TT movement:
1. Networking stakeholders & relevant groups – getting them talking to one another, having them come together for an event/accomplishment
2. Bringing together people in community; creating community.
3. Permaculture: creating a sustainable/regenerative relationship w/ living space
4. Creating connection with local school; getting children involved at a young age
5. Aesthetics: improving the aesthetic quality of the community: more trees, walking paths
6. Having a stable steering committee form to ensure the effort survives
Decisions made:
A weblink page will be set up within the environmental ed site by Bill Nelson: info/minutes can be posted there & can be moved to a website later!
