TRANSITION TOWNS

Climate change and peak oil - the world is changing and we have to change with it. I have joined up with the Transition Towns movement (started in the UK by Rob Hopkins). This is a ground-up community initiated change towards sustainable lives.

My first steps are walking the boys to and from school or catch the local bus. We need to stop relying so much on the car. We will be planting a big vege garden soon. Watch this space!

"for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?"
