Further Description
  • WE NEED TO PLAN FOR OIL PRICE RISES ASAP.These rises were predicted many years ago to start between 2006 and 2012. They will dramatically affect ferry prices and therefore food and other products brought over from the mainland, AND will isolate the Island by reducing commuting and ‘export' our own products. Globally, they will change our use of transport, plastics, pharmaceuticals and how we grow & distribute food.To survive these challenges, we need local plans for sustainable lifestyles that use skills rather than machines. Transition Island is a Community Action project which will encourage rather than compete with other similar initiatives. It will foster the idea of everybody on the Island doing a little bit, rather than waiting for unknown experts to do it for us. This gives us the best opportunity to develop locally what we actually need for the Island.
