Transition Yarra Reading Group: 5 Dec

We have our last Transition Companion reading group meeting coming up! Wednesday 5 December, 7pm – Carlton Library.

We will meet at the library as usual – probably downstairs in the nice light lounge area in the foyer, and then move on to a café later on if people want to have the discussion over dinner or coffee – or not, if not!

There are no questions! There is no homework! We’ll have a chat

 roughly as per the topics below – or others if people have burning discussion topics. Even if you haven’t read the book, or these particular chapters, you can still join the discussion!

The Transition Companion Reading Group
Session #6: pages 234-296: Building and Daring to Dream
We’ll choose a few of the topics below – whichever interest people most – and discuss their importance, and how they are relevant in Yarra, or for us personally.

· Energy Descent Action Plans (235-238)
· Social enterprise (239-243)
· Scaling up (244-245)
· Community renewable energy (246-251)
· Sharing, local economy and exchange (257-261)
· Appropriate technology (262-263)
· Learning networks (286-286)

Look forward to seeing you then, or at the swap and picnic on Saturday the 1st!

What’s the origin of Origin’s energy?

Why is Origin lobbying so hard against our renewable energy target? As this new infographic shows – most of Origin’s investment is in coal and gas. They don’t own a single solar project!
If you want more renewables not less, please like and post this graphic to your politician’s facebook page to tell them Origin doesn’t speak for you.
