Almost before we caught our breath from current events, we landed in the swirl of the Holiday Season. That may mean wonder and beauty and wishes fulfilled...or something else.
Whidbey Island’s marvelous web of organizations and relationships dedicated to well-being for all is our local treasure, as national and global uncertainty rises around us. Vicki Robin will reveal this web and encourage us to implement the “sharing economy” to solve challenges in housing, health, energy, water, and food sufficiency.
Join Whidbey Climate ACTION on Dec. 5 to explore the ways everyone in our community benefits when our minds are open and our hands outstretched to share our myriad gifts. Vicki will guide us in understanding, appreciating, and shifting into the Sharing Economy.
Vicki Robin, well-known as author of the perennial bestseller, Your Money or Your Life, co-founded Transition Whidbey in 2008 to build resilience on Whidbey Island even as the economic downturn threw families and society into hardship and insecurity about the future.
Her book, Blessing the Hands That Feed Us (Penguin 2014) documents her effort to eat only food sourced within 10 miles of her home, and her reflections about what regional food sufficiency could look like. Her TEDx on this is here>> tinyurl.com/VickiRobinEatslocal and her WhidbeyTV Farm-to-Fork video is here>> tinyurl.com/VickiRobinFarmtoFork
