How can Salem respond to the challenges, and opportunities, of Peak Oil and Climate Change?
That's the question we'd like you to help us answer. Please attend a gathering, free and open to the public, being held to introduce the Salem Transition Initiative for Relocalization (STIR).
We want to begin organizing in Salem around the issues that arise from the need to rethink the way we use energy, which permeates every other aspect of living today, from how and where we get our food, how we travel, our household budgets, what skills kids will need for the future, and many others. Our first public outreach will be a meeting to introduce the "Transition Towns" model, which is taking off in many places across the United States.
This first meeting will be held at the Straub Environmental Learning Center, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 25, 2009.
We hope to see you there! Until then, if you are intrigued and want to know more, see www.transitiontowns.org.
