February 27th TransitionSF Meeting: Label Genetically Engineered Foods. It's Our Right to Know.
What are genetically engineered foods, and why should they be labeled? Find out at the February 27th TransitionSF meeting, where Frank Plughoff and Liz Kroboth, San Francisco coordinators for the Committee for the Right to Know, will be presenting.
The Committee for the Right to Know is a grassroots coalition of consumer, public health, environmental organizations, and food companies in California that is working to put an initiative on the 2012 California ballot requiring labeling of genetically engineered foods (also known as GE foods, or GMOs). Prompted by growing concerns about the impacts that genetically engineered foods may have on human health and the environment, the demand for labeling from consumers, and the lack of response from lawmakers, this coalition is taking the question of labeling to the people.
Location: February 27th, 7pm - Gazebo Room at CPMC Davies Campus, Castro btw 14th & Duboce.

This month's community meeting will feature a presentation from Karla Nagy from Kitchen Garden SF, one of the three projects that the TransitionSF community voted to support in the coming year. We love the idea of kitchen gardenssprouting up in back yards, on rooftops, and in containers as a part of a web of city-grown food that is creating more beauty, connection and resilience throughout San Francisco. Karla will share information on the history and "permablitz" approach of Kitchen Garden SF and will introduce the new project in Ingleside Terrace that KGSF will develop with TSF's help. After her presentation, we'll break out in small groups to brainstorm various aspects of the project. DATE & TIME:

Next Community meeting will focus on City Repair
Location: CPMC Davies (Duboce and Castro), Room: Gazebo in between two towers (glass room) Time: 2/28 - 7 pm - 10 pm
Transition San Francisco has picked two main focus projects for 2011.
We'll be helping with City Repair San Francisco and Kitchen Gardens
San Francisco!
1. We’ll be working with an existing local group to help launch
Portland’s much-praised City Repair project in San Francisco. See
www.cityrepair.org.
2. We’ll be helping grow the Kitchen Gardens project – which brings a
permablitz, a kind of organic gardening makeover (both indoor and
outdoor), to SF households. See www.kitchengardensf.org.
We’re really happy to have picked two projects with strong roots in
permaculture. Our odds of success are much greater working with
others.
We’ve already heard interest in working together from other groups,
including the Wigg Party, the Bike Coalition, Rebar, SPUR, and others.
The neighborhood around the Wiggle might be ready to host a pilot
project, and there may be synergy with an ongoing effort in Hunters
Point as well.
We’ll devote much of the meeting to
kicking off our collaboration around City Repair, and will be inviting
people from all interested groups to come. And we’ll devote a near-
future meeting to Kitchen Gardens.
We'll continue to be involved in the San Francisco Seed Library, which
is off to a great start, and continue to discuss a food currency,
which holds a lot of promise.
We invite you to come and get involved. This is already an exciting
year for Transition in San Francisco.
