Is it a hopeless situation? Of course not. Life will go on, but in a fundamentally
different way from what it is today.
·
Globalism will give way to localisation.
·
Energy, transport and food production will become
decentralised.
·
The commuter culture will disappear.
·
Consumerism will be scaled down.
·
People will learn new skills and old skills will be
revived.
Does this
frighten you or motivate, enthuse and inspire you?
The Transition Movement is a positive
approach to meeting the challenges of the coming decades. It addresses the fundamental issues of:
·
Reducing our waste, reusing, and recycling
·
Localising food production and supporting our local
farmers
·
Creating more local jobs
·
Making our streets more pedestrian and cycle friendly
·
Eliminating unnecessary traffic
·
Campaigning for and encouraging the switch to greener
energy technology
The Transition Movement has clout! There are now Transition towns, cities and
villages all over the country (and the world) which gives it greater
credibility as a moving force when dealing with local authorities, planning
departments and even parliament!
