Transition Town Meet Up in Montpelier November 24th
Monday, November 24, 2008. 7 pm, Unitarian Church, Montpelier Transition Towns: From Oil Dependency to Resilient Communities
A talk by Naresh Giangrande,
co-founder of Transition Town Totnes. Free; donations accepted.
The Transition Town movement has seized the historic opportunity presented by our global challenges of peak oil, climate change, and economic unravelling, to creatively examine the choices and choose the future we want. This talk will look at what those choices are, and why they are so important; and why the Transition movement offers us solutions to the many problems with energy security, carbon emissions, food, and how we can learn to live with the inevitable changes to the way we live and work.
Naresh Giangrande is the co founder of the first Transition Town in Totnes in the UK. Transition Towns began in September 2006 and has since morphed into a worldwide movement with over 100 official Transition Towns, cities, counties, and islands, and several thousand who are considering this model for positive change. ‘Transition Town’ is an inspiring vision and action plan for how a community can transition to an energy lean, carbon constrained, and relocalised future that is abundant, sustainable, pleasurable, and resilient. http://transitiontowns.org/ For more information, contact Annie McCleary, 456-8122.
Presented by Transition Town Montpelier and the Post-Carbon Sustainability Network
Refreshments will be served. Donations by Red Hen Bakery.
