REPORT: TN2 Second Meeting

On 21 July a group of TN members agreed to form a "collaborative community" of people taking practical steps to reduce our carbon and environmental footprint, whilst living the positive vision of the world we want to create. After our first large and exhuberant gathering of midsummer, this was a sober meeting as befits the beginning of a bold and committed enterprise. We discussed our ideals, our aspirations, our doubts, what personal actions we had already made in the face of climate change (ranging from reduced use of water and fuel, cycling to work, almost zero waste) and how we should log our personal carbon footprints and make connections with other groups embarking on similar explorations. We decided to meet in two Transition Circles (TC West and The Strangers) during August, so we could swap stories and start building a co-operative network of people and resources, as well as map out what a low-carbon way of life might look like. If you want to join us, do come to our next open meeting on Sept 3 at Inner Space! Bring food to share. NB 7pm start not 7:30.
