The Community Resilience Group focuses on learning about resilience issues in food systems, water systems, energy systems and more. We are reviewing ways in which we could survey our community and create a resilience baseline to gain some indication of where we can improve.
Our group initially focused our meetings on discussing the book The Community Resilience Reader (available for free at: resilience.org). We will be shifting to exploring The Community Resilience Toolkit in order to do a community resilience assessment of the Greater Media area. You can learn more about that here.
We’re also learning about the long term impact of climate change on different regions of the country. Using the American Resiliency channel on Youtube which gives forecasts and projected outlooks for every state in our country, we compared the PA and NJ assessments. The projections for NJ are much grimmer than for PA. Something our group recognized is that the videos focus narrowly on Climate, We’re committed to exploring what Community Resilience requires within the broader polycrisis and ecological predicament we face.
In the future, the Community Resilience group will also be organizing community documentary film nights around Greater Media – coming soon!
Our regular meeting date is the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm. We meet at a group member’s house and you can email Will Powers for the address if you’d like to attend.

We learn and promote ways to reduce our impact on the environment we inhabit by reducing the waste we generate. Some examples are increasing food and yard waste composting, improving recycling, and reducing the amount of plastic we produce and use. Visit our web page to learn more about our goals and activities.
Join us to make a significant impact on our waste generation. We are currently meeting via Zoom on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7PM. Contact us at zerowaste@ttgmPA.org to request the Zoom link.
