[Scpg] which sector of society calls you to action?

[LBUZZELL at aol.com]

Transition Town Santa Barbara has decided to focus our intentions  and 
actions on relocalizing, transforming and transitioning 9 critical sectors of local 
society  .  I'm already getting excited just looking at this list (below) and  
thinking of both the excellent work already being done in some sectors by 
folks  in our community plus the possibilities for moving forward towards  
sustainability in others.   
Some of these sectors really call out to me: culture, local  history, 
spirit/soul, (mental) health...  Yes! 
Which sector(s) call out to you?  We're going to need  enthusiastic folks to 
be part of the 9 teams that will address each  sector and then inform the 
whole group of their discoveries, recommendations and  actions. If there are 
sector(s) that you are passionate about, please  e-mail me back and we'll start 
creating lists of people who share this  interest. 
Welcome to one of the most exciting work/play opportunities of our  time -- 
helping our communities transition towards true  sustainability! 
Yours in transition,
