Welcome to the Groupsite for TSB. “
Transition South Barwon Inc
”, is a local grassroots community project exploring ways that the region of South Barwon (Geelong, Victoria) can transition to a more sustainable, and resilient future.
In Dec 2010 we became an incorporated association (Inc # A0055239N)
There is an ever growing movement worldwide (http://transitionnetwork.org), which embraces the transition concept as the best, most efficient way of dealing with the twin problems of Climate Change, and Peak Oil.
The transition approach treats both climate change and peak oil as one problem.
•
Significantly rebuild community resilience (in response to peak oil)
•
Drastically reduce carbon emissions (in response to climate change)
We are not a campaigning group and deliberately have no political affiliation; we are setup to initiate action. It is a positive, solutions-focused way of engaging the issues, and helping to move South Barwon towards a post-oil world that is actually preferable to the present.
