Communities, Councils and a Low Carbon Future - What We Can Do If Governments Won't
By Alexis RowellCommunities, Councils & Climate Change includes current examples of best eco practice from local authorities across the UK and elsewhere, as well as a look at the background to unsuccessful projects.
An inspiring yet practical new book, Local Money helps you understand what money is and what makes good and bad money. It draws on the considerable track record of experimentation with local money around the world and gives ideas to those in the Transition movement and beyond about what has been tried, what works, and what to avoid.
Drawing on the practical experience of Transition initiatives and other community initiatives around the world, this guide powerfully shows how by working together the results can be far greater than the sum of their parts.
Describes four possible scenarios for the UK, and in particular the Transition vision which provides a context in which communities can work towards a thriving future.
The Transition Handbook is the manual which will guide communities to face up to the challenges of climate change and peak oil, and begin their 'energy descent' journey. The argument that 'small is inevitable' is upbeat and positive, as well as utterly convincing.
