John Bell: A 22 year resident of Ossining, NY, John Bell grew up in Houston, TX with the petrochemical industry in the air. Graduating from Rice University with a Ph.D. in chemistry, a yearlong post-doctoral at the University of Oxford in the UK showed him that there were alternatives to the car-centered, suburban lifestyle. He worked for nearly two decades in the chemical industry with refinery, agricultural and laundry chemicals as a research chemist. Getting a MBA before the turn of century, raised increasing uncomfortable questions about the relationship of economics to physical reality and the limits it imposes. The events of the last decade have reinforced for him the reality that the future will definitely not be a continuation of the past, so he founded the Westchester County branch of Transition Movement (http://www.transitionwestchester.org) in 2010.
