RE: Where to live? - The Transition Handbook

[Guest guest]

So, rather than divorcing oneself from one's community, I thinkorming tighter

networks of communities is a better idea. But that's my personal opinion. Chris

I agree with and that's why I wrote an e-mail awhile back about what

we're doing in Boulder County, Colorado. See www.BoulderCountyGoingLocal.com

We are transitioning, one town at a time, to local food, local energy, local

transportation, local materials building, local currency. And this includes

getting the city governments on board. There are trainings going on for the

entire transition process and including training steering commitees to approach

the city governments and get them on board. We may be the first in the U.S.,

but there are already many transition towns in the U.K.

Besides the main transition training, local groups are offering all kinds of

classes on things like permaculture, bicycle maintenance, green building,

100-mile diet, etc. There are all kinds of forward moving things we can do

instead of living in fear of what's happening!

This is the book being used for the trainings and it covers it all.
