The first "problem" we tackle is the hardest. Then momentum and synergies add up and it gets easier and easier. #ggrc09

Chris Jordan on #midwayj I don't think we act until we feel something. That is the power of art. It connects us with our feelings. #ggrc09
The albatross once again an archetype - the messenger. Rime of the Ancient Mariner Redux? We're in peril. #GGRC09
Resilient Cities Day 2 getting underway. #ggrc09
Beautiful and profound words from #billweaver on Midway Island Journey #mtm09 #ggrc09
Richard Register is the reason I'm here this week. #ggrc09 @mayorgregor @mayorsamadams #teamadams
Richard Register mentions Mario Molina in his talk :) #ggrc09 - Richard is talking about climate change and the urban design of the city
Bill Weaver brings audience to tears w/ video of plastic-filled birds from Midway Is. #ggrc09 #midwayj #mtmnet
We're now getting down to the practical: What does the design of the resilient city look like? Hint: not sprawl. #ggrc09
[Register] Urban sprawl as a contributor to climate change impacts #ggrc09 - going to the basics on why cities should be focus of CC action
[Register] Curitiba (Brazil) very well designed - pull density together via transit #ggrc09 - open space very close to the city.
I hope Register's talk can demonstrate to the North countries that the Southern countries DO some things better :) #ggrc09
For example, some Brazilian cities are models for sustainable urban design and participatory planning #ggrc09
Also, some Mexican communities have self-organized for sustainable forest management (see the work of Leticia Merino) #ggrc09

In Nepal - totally medieval city with no cars #ggrc09 - ironically, in some suburbs of Vancouver you DO need a car to get around!
Running out of laptop battery at #ggrc09 and no power outlets anywhere to be found. Might stop tweeting right now.
Register - I think a better car makes a worse city. Car free city is the way to go. YES!

"The better car makes a worse city." Richard Register #ggrc09
#ggrc09: signs of positive movement at the municipal level, there may be hope.
[Register] need to start thinking about 3 dimensional cities. #ggrc09
Ecocities... Bring nature back, restore the creeks. How about Still Creek thru east van and Bby? #GGRC09
My speech done at Resilient Cities,butterflies gone, looking forward to John Knott, Anita Burke, Majora Carter. What a morning! #ggrc09
Don't forget about land use arrangements in creating a more sustainable Eco-city! #ggrc09
