Transitions Santa Cruz; Community Organizing
Oct. 3, 2009, 5:34 p.m.
Our mission is to be a catalyst for relocalizationâthe development of local self-reliance in food, energy, transportation, media, systems of care, economy and the artsâthrough a broadly inclusive community-building process.
Climate change and a declining energy supply present us with great challenge and great opportunity. Our response taps the creative genius of the people of Santa Cruz, to facilitate an intentional transition to a resilient, equitable local economy and community. In contrast to dismal predictions of social dislocations due to declining fossil fuels, we can imagine our community quality of life actually improvingâif we unite to plan and implement the transition.

Some people just can't let the 80's go
Oct. 3, 2009, 3:07 p.m.
Far be it for us here at WRIR to ridicule such unfortunate people,instead,once a week we take the role of enabler and provide such people with an outlet for their longing of the halcyon days of their misspent youth.
That role has been given to me this afternoon and I'm only too happy to assist in the disillusion.

ShaleShock Gas Drilling Activist Byers: Responding to the Shale Gas Threat
Oct. 3, 2009, 10:28 a.m.
ShaleShock, a free-flowing union of independent gas drilling activists, is establishing itself as a formidable social change creating force in the early days of Peak Oil. The Marcellus Shale gas drilling controversy is really starting to heat up in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Weâre talking door to door environmental health education campaigns, ShaleShock 101 for those new to the gas drilling problem, and lobbying/educating local, state and national legislative representatives.
Andrew Beyers, one of ShaleShocks leading actors, shares his great knowledge of how to create an alternative to corporate activities that degrade the environment. Shale gas drilling is a heavily polluting business: large quantities of diesel exhaust fouling the air from trucks, drilling rigs and generators, toxic fracturing fluid that is injected into the Earth to force the natural gas out of the shale, toxic waste (used fracturing fluid) dumped by the gas drillers in artificial ponds, offgassing of cancer causing pollutants from the ponds, and flaring of gas wells. Education, advocacy and JOY come together beautifully for the protection of the Earth Mother where shale gas deposits lie deep below the communities, farms, orchards, vineyards and forests of Central New York State. The âwinds of changeâ are starting to blow a little bit stronger, just gradually increasing in force in harmony with the overheated planetâs strengthening winds. Something very special is beginning to take place. The people have grown in their environmental consciousness over the past several decades. Now we are seeing the beautiful results of that growth. The people are beginning to build a groundswell of environmental protection activity that is certainly looking good with regards to movements and revolutions on the horizon.
Stop Shale Gas. Stop Tar Sands. I believe that these parallel grassroots environmental protection campaigns will succeed beyond our wildest dreams. âAmong Good Spirits and all of us environmental protection activists everything is alright.â
