Thursday, January 21st, 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Join Chris Wolf and Tom Anderson for an evening of local inspiration. Both members of Transition Whatcom, Chris and Tom will provide a brief update on Peak Oil, Climate Change, and Economy, report on the work Transition Whatcom has performed since they last presented to BIONs in May, and share what's in store next for the organization. Chris and Tom will conclude the program by leading a visioning exercise for the future.
Transition Whatcom's vision is creating resilient and more self-reliant communities throughout Whatcom County with a local food supply, sustainable energy sources, a healthy local economy, and a growing sense of vitality and community well-being.
