This community is slowly growing (slower than the glaciers are receding). The reason is simple. Combining reading and writing with real-world activities to build local resilience takes time and a lot of recovery time.
Please take your time reading through the material - take breaks - but come back to read more.
My current work consists of working on my Global to Local initiative. I am moving our local Green Party from focusing only on traditional representative-style work, based on the traditional tasks of public services, to work on adaptation and resilience.
We do need to represent people who feel that new housing developments will overrun local services, but we also need to make clear that the recently built housing estate cannot get water to the first-floor bathroom because there is no longer enough water in the aquifer.
We need to work on how we support, at a local level, the food banks that are in increasing demand due to AI layoffs. We are working on coordinating the growing of food in orchards and allotments to deliberately produce surplus, which is then given to the food banks.
We are looking at taking over land left abandoned by our council to start growing community-managed farming.
We are looking at who wil be affected by flooding or excessive heat and making sure the most vulnerable have neighbours dedicated to helping them in the event of threats.
And we are looking at campaigning to get candidates elected to office.
Welcome to out group Akos!
