Free Environmental Film Screenings
Residents in Wivenhoe and beyond are being offered the chance to
watch a series of environmental films, mostly free of charge, as
part of the new Transition Wivenhoe project.
Transition group member, Jo Wheatley, said
'Even if climate change, global peak oil and energy insecurity
were not serious issues, over consumption of the earth's
natural resources is a massive problem. If everyone in the world
lived like the average European we'd need several planets to
sustain this way of life, and many more planets if we all lived
an American lifestyle! By coming together as communities we can
share the practical learning involved in moving towards a lower
energy and more resilient, and probably healthier and happier,
way of life.'
Communities across the UK and around the world are joining the
Transition movement. Typical activities include growing more
food locally, small scale renewable energy and launching local
currencies to strengthen the local economy.. Another important
focus is about re-building the resilience that communities once
had in greater abundance when people had a wider range of
practical skills and knowledge that meant greater independence
and more thriving communities.
Anyone wanting to get actively involved or wanting more
