Transition Birmingham?
Guest page supplied by Amanda about implementing the “Transition Towns” concept in Birmingham…
In the face of climate change and peak oil, there is an increasing need for the people of Birmingham to build socially and environmentally sustainable communities. Transition Birmingham is a grassroots response to the looming crises, aiming to create community resilience by drawing on the knowledge, creativity and skills of local people in order to live without the need for oil.
The aim is to:
relocalise the various aspects of the economy (eg food, energy, transport, healthcare), network between relevant groups and individuals, create re-skilling initiaves, and build both inter and intra-community support.
You can find out more about the Transition City idea by reading
the Transition Initiatives Network web page, or in Rob Hopkins new book, ‘The Transition Handbook‘.
How could Transition communities network across Birmingham, and start making a difference in neighbourhoods? Transition belongs to every single person, and Transition Birmingham to every single resident of Birmingham.
