Consumer sharing Swap, share and rent your way to a better future

By: NaturalFreeChoice.com When storing food it is necessary to verify how we are going to manage the shelf life of our food. Looking for the right conditions is essential to keep it in edible conditions so we stay healthy also during the time we consume this food. When choosing your food for storage make sure that is in good quality conditions. When choosing the place you should follow the following steps, so your food last longer: 1) Quality of Food - Be sure that you are buying or storing fresh food or food that is in good conditions 2) Rotate: Food that was stored first should be the food consumed first (First In First Out) or the one the one that expire first 3) Low Temperature: Try to low the temperature as much as you can in the area of storage since every increase of 18 degrees F cut by half the live of the food. Try to store in an area above 32 deg F and below 72 deg F.

Welcome to the home of Transition Town Westcliff, an exploration of how the people of Westcliff on Sea and the surrounding area can prepare for a carbon constrained, energy lean world. TTW is a community-led initiative which is working towards the creation of an Energy Descent Action Plan for the town. The thinking behind TTW is simply that a town using much less energy and resources than we presently consume could, if properly planned for and designed, be more resilient, more abundant and more pleasurable than the present. TTW also believe that only by involving all of us - residents, businesses, public bodies, community organisations and schools - will we come up with the most innovative, effective and practical ideas, and have the energy and skills to carry them out.

Transition Mayfield is part of a national initiative in response to the crisis in fossil fuel supply and reserves world wide, referred to as Peak Oil. There is increasing energy consumption in the West and escalating demand in the developing nations. Nuclear and hydrogen energy are not safe and fraught with long term problems. The objective is to make the transition to renewable energy. The present level of demand cannot be met solely with renewable energy. There is a need for creative, practical ways to consume less energy. The Transition Initiative is a catalyst for communities to formulate and implement ideas and strategies for local, sustainable development.
