building community resilience and reducing our carbon footprint

Come to one or both days of this exciting workshop and be part of a movement which is sweeping the world.

Transition Town is a positive global movement bringing communities together to respond to the twin challenges of climate change and the end of cheap oil. Around the world, there are hundreds of communities involved. The Transition Town initiative in Maleny will join with this international network (www.transitiontowns.org) and act as a node of the Sunshine Coast Transition Region (www.seac.net.au).

Maleny already has an amazing community, an abundance of positive action and a wealth of experience around environmental, economic and social issues. The Transition Town process presents us with an opportunity to recognise and map what we have, to vision where we want to go, and to think strategically about how we plan to get there. Transition Town provides the opportunity to rethink the way we live, to carefully consider what kind of community and world we would like to live in, and to engage in action to bring positive change.

By involving as many people and organisations as possible we can create the most innovative, effective and practical ideas for addressing peak oil and climate change in our local community, and have the energy and skills to carry them out. Also, by working together we can unleash the collective enthusiasm and genius of our community to make this transition.

The initial Transition Town Maleny workshops (25 Oct & 8 Nov) are being led by Morag Gamble and Evan Raymond (http://www.localfood.net.au) and coordinated through Sustainable Maleny (http://www.sustainablemaleny.org)
