Reframing Resilience

Sat, 2012-01-28 10:48 — mdmcdonald

First, there is great value in a systems approach as a heuristic for understanding interlocked social-ecological-technological processes, and in analysis across multiple scales. Yet we need to move beyond both systems as portrayed in resilience thinking, and the focus on actors in work on vulnerability, to analyse networks and relationships, as well as to attend to the diverse framings, narratives, imaginations and discourses that different actors bring to bear.

Save money and resources by sharing stuff with your friends

Thu, 2011-08-11 04:55 — JRees

In these difficult economic times, many Americans are wary of buying items they'll use just once or twice and then store in the garage. But for those times you really need a hedge clipper, bread maker or camping stove, there's a social networking site called NeighborGoods.net.

The site is an inventory of items users are willing to lend.

And it helped Web developer Jory Felice of Los Angeles find a mouse to borrow so he could test out a 20-year-old Apple computer he'd found at a garage sale.

"I thought, 'You know what, I could probably go to eBay and find one, but I don't want to pay, like, weird computer collector prices for something that I may not decide that I really want," Felice says.
