Transition - Forest of Dean - 0 views

  •  
    The majority opinion of the scientific community is that, as a culture, we cannot continue to live the way we do. To thrive in the future means to live in a different way than we have in the recent past. If this is what we want, we need to prepare ... together. Two of the most important issues are our dependency upon oil, and the changing climate, both of which urge us towards greater local stability and reslience. To make the changes in our communal and individual lives requires a fundmanental shift, and the purpose of this site is to focus upon making such a transition in the Forest of Dean. The hope is that we in the Forest of Dean can prepare for the transition before it is forced upon us - to dismantle rather than deal with collapse, to construct rather than to throw together in panic. This is the motivation. With discussion and energy we can achieve common goals. Please join in the discussion, and we will attempt to chart our progress through this site.

Food Sustainability - Part 1: Food Storage | NaturalFreeChoice.com - 0 views

  •  
    By: NaturalFreeChoice.com Food storage can be used for long and short term planning. Having the right amount of food stored can provide us with enough supply in case that for some reason we are temporarily away from our regular food supply. You can buy the food already prepared for long term storing or you can do it by yourself by drying fruits, appropriate food canning, etc. Before obtaining the food that you are going to store (it does not matter if you are going to buy it already prepared for storing or are going to do it by yourself) you should follow some basic guidelines so you can have a successful plan

Transition Voice - 0 views

  •  
    "Transition Voice is the new online magazine for the Transition movement, a cultural wave of hundreds of thousands of people across the globe who are responding to peak oil and declining fossil fuels by helping their communities and families to prepare for a future where economies and culture will likely look very different than they do today. Transition planners hope for a life that will be cleaner, more local, and human-scale."

Home | The Peak Oil Group - 0 views

  •  
    The UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security (ITPOES) is a group of British companies concerned that threats to energy security are not receiving the attention they merit. The Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security The aim of our first report is to engage government more proactively on the peak oil threat, and also to alert the public to the problem. We aim to encourage collaborative contingency planning by government, industry, and communities on measures that can be taken to accelerate independent energy supply within the UK. In preparing this report, we asked ourselves three related questions: How big is the risk from peak oil? How big is the alternative-energy opportunity? How do the two conflate?

Transition Westcliff - 0 views

  •  
    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.
