WORKING GROUPS
The diversity of skills needed to create appropriate change and build a resilient community from what we have now is too much for any individual on their own. But if we organise ourselves under the Transition community and face the challenges as groups and communities anything is possible. Each working group will take on a particular task or issue (such as waste, energy, education, food and so on) The group will work on ideas and potential viable solutions for increasing self-reliance in their area. The major requirement is people. People who understand the need for change to a more community-based and sustainable society.
People who are willing to give a bit of their time to effect such a change. If each such person could take on one task and help facilitate or be part of a working group then we will have made a start. With groups working on tasks and meeting regularly with members of the other groups for support and assistance, anything is possible. “Many hands make light work”.
