So, I'm really digging the idea of having a #ToolLibrary that accepts #TimeBasedCurrency instead of dollars! Wow! I used to be part of the #PortlandME #TimeDollarNetwork (which is still around), and one could even use #TimeDollars to rent #CommunitySpace for events! Having more #TimeBanks is one way to wean ourselves off of #petrodollars and #technodollars!

#NewburyportMA: They can fix it: Annual spring #RepairCafe returning soon
By Jim Sullivan | Mar 20, 2025
NEWBURYPORT — "Folks hoping to get their bicycles fixed, their garden tools sharpened or even their house lamps mended should visit the Newburyport Senior/Community Center on Saturday, April 5, for the Time Trade Network of Greater Newburyport’s annual spring Repair Café.
"Taking place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the free event features over 30 local volunteers adept at tinkering with small appliances, textiles, jewelry, bikes, small wooden items and even mechanical clocks.
"Knife sharpening, as well as garden hand tool sharpening along with some expert advice on chair caning will also be offered.
"'We want to encourage people to have their items repaired instead of putting them into the waste stream,' event organizer Elizabeth Marcus said. 'They can also get to see just how easy and fun it can sometimes be.'
"The #TimeTradeNetwork of Greater Newburyport is a group of local volunteers willing and eager to share their knowledge as well as talents with one another.
At the Repair Café, people can bring up to three small, clean items then watch while each is repaired on the spot."

Do you believe in #ClimateSolutions? You just might be a #solarpunk.
What started as an idea for a new approach to science fiction has evolved into a worldwide community.
"For practical inspiration, solarpunk looks to permaculture and Indigenous agriculture, sustainable architecture like Earthships and Arcosanti, as well as the maker movement and DIY culture. The future-focused inspiration has roots in the work of science fiction writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Octavia E. Butler, all of whom explore climate change, alternative economies, and equitable community in their work."
by Sarena Ulibarri Contributor
Apr 04, 2022"There are people all over the world who believe a just and sustainable world is possible. Maybe you’re one of them. Oh, the details of how that world works will vary according to our individual priorities and values, not to mention the physical and political climate of where we live. But we share the same vision: a future in which we’ve tackled the environmental and social justice issues of our time in a way that brings humanity, nature, and technology into harmony. We dream of green, community-centered cities; of high-tech, ethical farms; of pollution-free skies and plastic-free oceans. We dream of a world of abundance and inclusion, with equitable resource distribution and flattened hierarchies. We know we can’t achieve this by following the same path we’ve been walking; we must work together to blaze a new and better trail.
"We are artists and writers and musicians. We are activists and community organizers and urban planners. We are architects and scientists and engineers. We are gardeners and gamers and makers.
[...]
"Though we sometimes disagree about what a solarpunk world looks like, we are united by our vision of a future based on hope. But 'hope' is a tricky concept. It can be a catalyst for action, or a crutch supporting denial. Hiding from horrid realities or deluding ourselves that everything will turn out OK is not the type of hope solarpunks embrace. We know that climate change is here, and we acknowledge how bad it could get. We accept that tough times lie ahead, and imagine ways of adapting to those challenges with resilience, compassion, and equity. We’re rethinking how we live our lives and how we organize our societies, trying to reshape our systems so they serve the needs of the many instead of the wants of the few. We’re rethinking our relationships with technology and with nature, searching for a sustainable balance between the two."

Do you believe in #ClimateSolutions? You just might be a #solarpunk.
What started as an idea for a new approach to science fiction has evolved into a worldwide community.
"For practical inspiration, solarpunk looks to permaculture and Indigenous agriculture, sustainable architecture like Earthships and Arcosanti, as well as the maker movement and DIY culture. The future-focused inspiration has roots in the work of science fiction writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Octavia E. Butler, all of whom explore climate change, alternative economies, and equitable community in their work."

Apr 04, 2022"There are people all over the world who believe a just and sustainable world is possible. Maybe you’re one of them. Oh, the details of how that world works will vary according to our individual priorities and values, not to mention the physical and political climate of where we live. But we share the same vision: a future in which we’ve tackled the environmental and social justice issues of our time in a way that brings humanity, nature, and technology into harmony. We dream of green, community-centered cities; of high-tech, ethical farms; of pollution-free skies and plastic-free oceans. We dream of a world of abundance and inclusion, with equitable resource distribution and flattened hierarchies. We know we can’t achieve this by following the same path we’ve been walking; we must work together to blaze a new and better trail.
"We are artists and writers and musicians. We are activists and community organizers and urban planners. We are architects and scientists and engineers. We are gardeners and gamers and makers.
[...]
"Though we sometimes disagree about what a solarpunk world looks like, we are united by our vision of a future based on hope. But 'hope' is a tricky concept. It can be a catalyst for action, or a crutch supporting denial. Hiding from horrid realities or deluding ourselves that everything will turn out OK is not the type of hope solarpunks embrace. We know that climate change is here, and we acknowledge how bad it could get. We accept that tough times lie ahead, and imagine ways of adapting to those challenges with resilience, compassion, and equity. We’re rethinking how we live our lives and how we organize our societies, trying to reshape our systems so they serve the needs of the many instead of the wants of the few. We’re rethinking our relationships with technology and with nature, searching for a sustainable balance between the two."

Got lots to do before I head off to West Coast USA next week for part 2 of my #ChurchillTravelFellowship to visit #Timebanks #MutualAid schemes and others. Lots of meetings lined up and I am so very excited to finally get to meet #ErnestoSirolli in person in #Sacramento - I did some workshops with him during lockdown on zoom but his #TEDTalk had a huge effect on me and really has shaped the way we run our community project 😃 https://youtu.be/chXsLtHqfdM?si=Shih_tcTDPVfyBSu

After several years of delays.. my Churchill travel fellowship is back on. Off to USA in Oct for 5 weeks visiting lots of #timebanks #MutualAid schemes and more. Starting in Washington DC and around, then up the coast to Boston and New England, hopefully detour to Montreal for a mini break to see an old friend.. then on to Chicago and Austin. Planning on doing lots by train with an Amtrak pass so will have plenty of time to admire the views! Also doing some research and surveys with timebanks in other places and plan to pull all this into a report sometime next year. Would love to connect with folk on here doing something around #timebanking #SharingEconomy and similar.

After several years of delays for #covid and caring responsibilities, my #ChurchillTravelFellowship is unexpectedly back on. Coming to #USA in October to visit various #Timebank schemes on #EastCoast and #NewEngland and maybe #Chicago particularly interested in how they help in #rural areas with #CommunityResilience and keeping older people active in communities. Sadly with #ClimateChange and #ExtremeWeather events think #Timebanks may prove remarkably useful for that sort of thing. Would love to connect with people doing things like #RepairCafe #foodwaste #CommunityComposting or other #SharingEconomy type things while I'm out there.

Any #Timebank #Timebanking folk on here? Amongst many other things that I do.. I have a travel fellowship to explore benefits of rural timebanking, especially to support older people to stay connected to their community. Travel plans have been delayed by family illness and covid but I need to complete my travels and report by June 2024. Would love to connect with any #Timebanks on here especially #rural ones.. for the US folk..I know Chris Gray and speaking to her next week
