Positive solutions to peak oil and climate change
|
Transition Scilly is a local, community-driven group that aims to help people on Scilly reduce their carbon footprint as a response to the threat of Climate Change, and increase the whole community's resilience as a response to the threat of Peak Oil.. The Transition movement started in Totnes in 2006 and has grown to hundreds of places (villages, towns and cities) across the UK and around the World. It is a movement based on positive change, not traditional campaigning. Transition is based on solutions to problems as a way of looking to a positive future. Peak Oil and Climate Change are both huge threats to human society, in very different ways. Peak Oil forces us to alter our lifestyle of heavy reliance on fossil fuels, and Climate Change is altering the environmental conditions of the entire planet.If both issues are considered separately we won't come up with positive solutions for both problems; if considered together there's a chance we can turn this situation around. This is the difference with Transition.
