ABOUT MICHALAK
An enterprising project manager, renewable energy electrician, permaculture designer, biomimicry professional, and open-source technology enthusiast. I collaborate with leaders, cities, businesses, and agencies to identify and implement natural-systems-based solutions to human, social, and infrastructure problems. I’m presently studying smart microgrid, solar PV, and renewable energy technologies for applied research applications.Seeking opportunities and projects that build local living economies- renewable energy installations and retrofits- integrated rainwater / stormwater management design and installation- open-source technology (web development)- locally-rooted enterprises (cottage industries)- urban permaculture / sustainable agriculture- zero waste manufacturing- community capital and local currenciesPhilosophy: we have all of the ideas and technology available to solve our collective and individual problems. However, I think our trouble is overcoming entrenched bureaucracy and a psychology of previous investment before we can collaborate in creative energy at the scale necessary to truly thrive together in the 21st Century.I personally started with affirming my relationship with land, water and air, then committed to understand the potential of open-source technology, the emerging Transition Towns culture, and I\'m presently training in the field of renewable energy (electrician) and permaculture design; accepting the fact that the first ethical decision we have to make is whether we will or won\'t take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children.
