To reduce Fareham's dependency on oil through looking at ways to make the town of Fareham more sustainable.  |
Here is a video from Rob Hopkins who wrote the The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience (Transition Guides) available from various links on this site including the one just below here. The four phases (roughly)The community self-organises to respond in four phases. First, the small initiating group starts a programme of awareness raising and hooking up with existing groups. They articulate the rationale for adopting/adapting a transition approach and show the creative responses that the community might embark upon. Second, as the group becomes larger, it self-organises in groups in all the key areas such as food, transport, energy, housing, education, textiles etc, and creates practical projects in response to that big question (such as community supported agriculture, car clubs, local currencies, neighbourhood carbon reduction clubs, urban orchards, reskilling classes). Most Transition Initiatives are in this phase. Third, when the initiative is sufficiently competent with these concepts and practices, it embarks on an EDAP (Energy Descent Action Plan) process. This is a community-visioned and community-designed 15-20 year plan that creates a coordinated range of projects in all these key areas, with the aim of bringing the community to a sufficiently resilient and low CO2-emitting state. A very small handful of Transition Initiatives have embarked on this phase. Fourth, they begin implementing the EDAP, sharing successes and failures with other Transition Initiatives that are travelling the same path. |
