With oil production peaking, climate changing, the economy faltering, and fresh water, soil, fish, and minerals depleting at alarming rates, we must aim to increase society’s resilience — its ability to absorb shocks while continuing to function. That means re-localizing much economic activity. We must aim also to shore up basic support services, education, and cultural benefits, while de-emphasizing economic activity that entails non-essential consumption of resources.
If ever there was a time to get to work and build a resilient community...it is clearly now.
This event will benefit Transition US, Transition Sebastopol and the Sebastopol Grange. Please bring a canned or packaged food item for the Redwood Food Bank.
* $10-$20 suggested donation (come early – limited seating)
