JOBS, FOOD, ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT
It’s about our community and your future.
Come to a Free Presentation on Transition Towns and Vermont Money Sponsored by the Enosburgh Conservation Commission
We Need You! No special experience or qualifications are required. If you care about Franklin County- your job or business, the health of your family and community- you are part of its future. Transition Towns began as a movement in England a few years ago- and there are now over 500 communities all over the globe working on Transition Initiatives. Communities struggling with their local economies- coping with recession, loss of jobs, high energy prices, peak oil, food security, loss of a healthy environment- began to work toward local solutions, rather than waiting for outside powers to “save” them. They are building community resilience- communities that can hold together, function and prosper, in the face of change and shocks from the outside. Are you already working on projects for the future? Please come to this meeting, so we can learn from each other!
Do you feel overwhelmed by the challenges we face? Please come to this meeting- we can be stronger together!
Vermont Money- Many people say we can’t afford new ideas right now- but we have more wealth, as a community, than we may realize. We’ll hear from a panel of Vermonters who are working toward reforming our economy- making Vermont money work for us. 14 other states are now working on similar programs. Transition Initiatives- Find out what makes this movement a practical, positive force for change- helping communities to survive, and to thrive, even in these difficult times. There are Transition projects happening right now in Vermont.
June 11 at the Enosburgh Emergency Services Building 7:00 - 8:30 pm (Refreshments) Bring a friend! For more information email: peaceandslowfood@gmail.com
