Troy/Albany: after years of research I am thinking of getting an 8" organic cotton batting futon mattress (cotton grown in TX by a cotton-coop), wrapped in eco-wool (from a wool coop in Washington), with an organic shell -- is anyone else interested in a toxin free mattress (no fire retardants necessary because wool is a natural  barrier)?

Transition: a process to shift our society from industrial to sustainable culture and help communities prepare and adapt to the revolutionary change from oil dependency to local resilience.
 
Transition Troy: a collaboration of residents committed to leading our city and the surrounding area into and through this period of transformation. Our mission: enable people to find like-minded collaborators and form working groups that make things happen.

For this meeting, only: She...@nycap.rr.com or weeknights/weekends 518-286-0359
 
Seeds for Changing Times is the focus of this Transition Troy gathering.
 
Changing times is more than extreme weather;
 
Changing times also includes probable economic instability/volatility, and continued Extreme Energy Extraction methods (deep water drilling for oil in the Arctic and elsewhere, fracking, nuclear, etc.).
 
Transition Townsfolk can stand in the gap between the possible and the impossible,
 
embodying living prototypes, tipping the balance for our business as usual peers from fear of a future they cannot envision to a palpable positive excitement and energy for a resilient future. Perhaps you know the drill: be the change you want to see!
 
So, Seeds for Changing Times: a group sharing on topics such as these:
 
varieties that do well in a wide range of different weather conditions
 
good sources of seeds
 
seed saving know how
 
anything that would be wise to grow more of (grains, nuts, etc.)
 
seed/plant swaps
 
permaculture and growing of food and herbs
 
4 season growing (high tunnels, greenhouses, root cellaring, overwintering some crops, etc.)

I'm definitely interested. I've been thinking it's time to replace my 10-year-old futon. But I don't want such a thick one. What place are you getting yours from? and do they have thinner ones--4 to 6"? I'd like one capable of being rolled up to move it. Plus, after having a think futon for 10 years, the center has compressed quite a bit. My thinking is that with a thinner futon, when the center compresses there's still less difference between the center and the outer rim.
