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

GATEWAY MUSEUM SEEKS INTERACTIVE SUSTAINABLE EXHIBITS – Summer 2011

Hi Folks,

I am writing to you to let you know that The Gateway Museum is renting an exhibit for Summer 2011 called “Sustainable Choices”.   That’s the good news.

The bad news is that, while it has a great message, it is not a very interactive exhibit, and we want our visitors to be engaged and excited.

I am asking around to learn if anyone has some kind of exhibit that fits this theme, that is interactive, that is robust enough that it can endure being used by lots of people, and is lend-able, or rentable for a small fee from June 5 to Sept 5 (approximately).  I am even interested in building new exhibits (I have several ideas), if anyone is interested in helping with that.

The themes of “Sustainable Choices” are:

1) water usage
2) electricity usage
3) chemicals on lawn
4) recycling
5) reading labels

These each have a so-called interactive component, but some of them are pretty lame–for example, the chemicals-on-the-lawn exhibit allows visitors to plant a seed in a compost bin sitting on a pad of artificial turf.

I already have some very interactive exhibits about:

1) Incandescent vs fluorescent electricty use
2) insulation efficiency
3) dual pane windows
4) a solar panel demo

Some other topics that I thought of that could be addressed (this obviously is not an exhaustive list!  nor must they all be addressed–this is just some one-person brainstorming)

1)  What’s in a landfill
2) Styrofoam
3) wind power
4) the plastic debris in the Pacific gyre
5) styrofoam
6) one-use plastic bags
7) compost
8) land use and erosion
9)  alternate fuels
10) car pooling
11) buying locally
12) plastic beverage bottles

Thanks in advance for any help or leads you might be able to offer.

Co-Creators Wanted

Co-Creators Wanted for Dome Village Katrina

1-page flyer

Dear fellow travelers;
Awhile back while surfing the Internet I came across an old advertisement from a Londoner Newspaper from the year 1912 which read:

“Men Wanted for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success.” Ernest Shackleton, Antarctic Explorer.
It is said he received 5,000 applications.

Now consider that it is now almost one hundred years later. Not only are the icecaps melting but massive changes, geological, social, economic, are everywhere underway. We are awaiting the mysterious year 2012, an anniversary of creation, foretold as the Shift of the Ages.

I am a German Immigrant who was guided to come to America. I am presently living in Chico, California. My next spiritual assignment as a self-proclaimed Lightworker for America is the manifestation of Dome Village Katrina. Two years ago I put an ad on some Internet places. My text said:

“Wanted: Awakened Indigo Children with a Passion for Bringing Heaven down to Earth. Why?: For the Manifestation of Dome Village Katrina in Northern California.
I am looking for four young people, minimum age 21, who want to join me for a one-year apprenticeship program for the creation of a new entrepreneur occupation as a New Community Builder. – We will build a cluster of five earth-bag dome homes plus a community dome. This model of a small, self-sufficient community is intended to snowball in rural areas. We will operate on a non-profit, humanitarian platform. The motto for foresight-project “Dome Village Katrina” is the Buckminster Fuller vision statement: “To make the world work for 100 % of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”

I did get occasional response letters, however, so far nobody seriously interested showed up. So I put this assignment on the back burner and focused on other things on my list.

Since I am presently re-creating my website to refresh my Lightworker store-front, I want to make a new attempt at gathering my four co-apprentices by posting this one- page flyer on my blog.
My above ad text is still valid.

I invite you — not to a hazardous journey in cold darkness — but to an adventure in the Light, by walking the path of ascension in a core group of five. We will manifest Dome Village Katrina through applying the Law of Attraction according to the Abraham teachings. In practicing the new paradigm we will be living in the frequency range of the 5th dimension.
Requirement for applicants is to read my ebook “Potty Training for Indigo Children” — see my website atwww.KarinLLightworker.com — since Dome Village Katrina is the spin-off project of my book. After reading the book you will know whether you want to be part of this project or not. If you are unable to purchase the ebook through my website I can email it to you as a gift.

Only after reading the book and only if you feel a strong calling to be part of this spiritual undertaking write me a detailed letter about yourself and your intentions for becoming a New Community Builder.
Please also read the following letters on my blog with more info about Dome Village Katrina: Letter to Buckminster Fuller Institute/Online Forum, Letter to Edward Dilley, Letter to Julia Butterfly, Letter to Futurist Jacque Fresco, Letter to Andy Caffrey.
Especially I would like to attract members of my tribe of origin, those of the Promethean Spirit. “being on a mission as passionate humanitarians” is our trademark.
Our purpose is to live as mapmakers and wayshowers and to bring to fruition the seeds that those who came before us have planted. This is how we anchor our power as conscious creators on planet Earth.
The time for a new beginning is now! I’m looking forward to welcome you!

Vibe high — journey joyfully!
Karin Lacy, Lightworker
