Two of the toughest challenges facing us are climate change and peak oil. While Climate Change is very visible in the media, there is a lot less awareness around the issue of Peak Oil. And yet, the imminent decline of fossil fuel availability may seriously impact the economic and social stability needed to mitigate the threats posed by climate change.

A Transition Initiative is a community working together to look Peak Oil and Climate Change squarely in the eye and address this BIG question:
"for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?"

The Transition Initiative may be one of the most promising ways of engaging people and communities to build resilience in the face of these two monumental challenges. Come hear a short overview of why the Transition Movement has inspired hundreds of communities across the world to take local, positive and meaningful action.

Sarah Hatcher will lead us through a discussion about Transition Towns at the Difference, 4/120 Sussex St, Sydney on the 11th of March at 6.30pm

Our wish is that similar presentations will then happen in participating cafes through trained facilitators to create conversations that matter...
