The first ‘transition town’ meeting in Monchique is taking place this evening (November 23) at Óchálá at 8pm.
Transition towns are a network of communities that are working to build resilience in response to peak oil, climate destruction and economic instability.
There will be a showing of the film The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil and discussion led by Lesley Martin and Monique Volkers.
Organisers of the free-to-attend event said: “Whether we like it or not, over the next decade or two we will be transitioning to a lower energy future – essential because of climate change and inevitable because of diminishing supplies of fossil fuels (particularly oil).
“Transition Initiatives, community by community, are actively and cooperatively creating happier, fairer and stronger communities, places that work for the people living in them, and are far better suited to dealing with the shocks that will accompany our economic and energy challenges and a climate in chaos.”
