What can YOU personally do?

How will these aims be achieved?

When local people work together and focus mainly upon local matters; things we can do ourselves or directly influence, huge transformations can come about. This transition process embraces very simple step-by-step changes alongside researching and implementing radical new ideas.

Below are examples of what we can do locally.

• Raise awareness of Peak Oil and Climate Change.
• Increase the security of local food, water, and energy.
• Reduce the need for energy-greedy forms of transportation.
• Boost our local economy by supporting local producers and suppliers of essential goods and services.
• Identify and promote local renewable energy generation
projects, and schemes that will result in more efficient and/or reduced energy use.
• Develop within our communities, essential skills such as horticulture and invironmentally friendly construction methods.
• Promote ‘green and/or ethical’ providers of public services such as electricity, phone and computer, banking and insurance, local currencies and or a local credit unions.
• Network with like minded groups; get to together for social events to share food, music, ideas and FUN.
• Develop an attitude of optimism, caring, sharing and
co-operation.
