How'd you like to travel a few years into a future world of positive outcomes?
Maybe if we practice imagining what that could be, we might be more inclined to
MAKE IT SO! (he shouted).
If that is challenging, you might want to listen closely to some of the, so far, 98 episodes of From What If to What Next. If we can't imagine it, it's not fucking likely to happen, eh? We can retrain our brains.
"If there was ever a time for fresh thinking, for being bold, for being visionary and imaginative – for reimagining everything – this is it. Each episode, writer and Transition Movement founder, Rob Hopkins, invites cutting edge thinkers to visualise a new future. Join us as we ask What If..." #permaculture#TransitionTowns https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/from-what-if-to-what-next/id1538281063
It is not only possible... it's already being done.
Great piece on the Transition initiative the Liege Food Belt, 30 new food coops, 300 producers, 100 schools commiting to local, organic food, a market and House of Sustainable Food, a soup club feeding kids.
And it all came from a question - what change can we concretely effect within our lifetimes? What they arrived at was this: “That in 35 years, one generation, the majority of food consumed in the Liège region would be grown locally in the best ecological and social conditions.”
A taste of what Transition groups are up to this weekend:
🌱Transition Town Rugby volunteer session at their herb garden
☕Trawsnewid Llandrindod Transition green coffee & chat, also at their herb garden!
🐜Abingdon Carbon Cutters host a biodiversity walk
🌺 Transition Buxton have a plant swap at the town's market
🛠 Transition Crich launch their new #repaircafe - good luck! And Transition Town Louth also repairing this weekend!
⛱ Deal With It - Transition Deal beach clean
🔌Many #Transitiontowns have #GreatBigGreenWeek events - like Vision 21 kicking off a cable amnesty, trying to recycle as many of those lurking wires as possible through their Reclaim store.
Plus, looking forward to lots of folks in the North West joining our regional gathering Greenslate Farm!
All this community-led action/change this weekend... and every weekend! Tell us what else you have going on?
