The combined challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change mean we will
have to reduce our dependence on oil / petroleum. This means we must
re-imagine the way we source our food, design our buildings, generate
energy, and more. We must also work out what skills will be necessary
to help us do this.
The transition towns movement was born out of the conviction that
human beings are incredibly resourceful and if we start planning now,
the transition to a more resilient future will be not only less
painful, but more enjoyable.
Ealing Transition Initiative has been set up with the following
aims:
- To spread awareness of peak oil and climate change, and motivate
people to change accordingly;
- To describe a low energy future and plan how to get there;
- To help build Ealing's self-reliance in areas such as food,
energy, jobs, community and economy
- To act as a focal point / hub for the people of Ealing to exchange
ideas and skills.
