CLIMATE: New Transition Sydney group tackles peak oil and climate change

Transition Sydney is a recently formed group of Sydney people whose concern about the impact of climate change and peak oil on our way of life calls us to do something practical about it through a Transition Towns initiative. Action is needed at the local level to help communities transition to the new realities these forces will bring. Our focus is on the Greater Sydney Region. The action projects the group aims to encourage and support will be at the suburb and precinct level, but local energy, food and water dependencies span the entire Sydney Basin ‘bioregion' and beyond, and local solutions need to take these into account.
