This evening I've watched the documentary film "The 11th Hour" on Channel 4, looking at the serious environmental crisis that humanity is creating for our planet and ourselves, and talking of the urgent "transition" that we all need to make if we're to stand any chance of avoiding total disaster! The film is very well worth a watch. There's more about it at;
www.11thhourfilm.com or www.11thhourmovie.co.uk
And a couple more good Peak Oil websites I've come across today (both UK based);
Peak Oil; www.peakoil.org.uk
and PowerSwitch; www.powerswitch.org.uk which has an on-line map that you can stick a "pin" in to show people where you are and see who else is near you who shares the same interest. Find the map HERE
This blog page is intended to raise the issues around Peak Oil and encourage debate in the Dereham area about these issues, how they will affect our local area, and how we should respond. Please do post any comments you have in reply to any blog entries posted here. Alternatively please e-mail; transitiondereham@googlemail.com
It must be stressed that Dereham is not (yet) a Transition Town. But through this blog it is hoped that a debate will be started that will lead Dereham towards engaging in the Transition process and that this blog will become a record as we engage in that process.
