From now on, this website will offer a platform to barter time and goods. Under the title “BARTERING”, people who have goods or services that they’d like to swap will be able to create new posts that contain info on what they have to share, and what they are looking for. A new category will soon be added to the website.

Zeeko Salvage aka ZeekoBag is interested in bartering industrial sewing and repair services for locally/ecologically produced meat, a large floor-mounted drill press, or a small metal lathe.

GREEN TRANSITION CHICO’S WEBSITE UNDER ATTACK – Nov. 3, 2011
Dear friends,
GTC’s website is currently being bombarded by thousands of junk posts that have absolutely nothing to do with sustainability. It makes it difficult and cumbersome to find the legitimate posts and to put them up on the site. It is possible that this barrage was designed to achieve just that. Or the site may have only fallen victim to parasitic marketing. In either cases, the GTC team is now working on figuring out ways to protect ourselves from such onslaught.
We truly apologize for the delay in posting legitimate Chicoan posts. Please, bear with us as we look for practical solutions.
Respectfully green regards,
Gerard Ungerman
