About
I’m Gary Alexander, retired from the Technology Faculty at the Open University. I'm now spending most of my time on projects related to the Transition Town movement, developing a regional network, TransitionEast, and here on WiserEarth, see Workspace for Transition Network Web Project too.
I’m the author of eGaia, Growing a peaceful sustainable Earth through communications. I developed the positive vision of a sustainable future described in it over many years, as you can see from my papers and talks. See my main website for more information. I’ve been working to implement these visions through a range of community projects to ‘re-invent community’ to create a ‘connected community’ that is sustainable and in which people work for mutual benefit. As many such local communities develop and are linked regionally, nationally and globally they will form ‘Earth Connected’, an organism-like global culture.
