Video - English town's climate lessons from Al Jazeera

As the reality of Copenhagen's race to the bottom sinks in, here is a real solution we can all be a part of, because after all, it is up to us. Always has been.

Thanks to Rob Hopkins over at Transition Culture for this.

"Discussions on climate change at the Copenhagen Summit are drawing to a close, with a real resolution uncertain.

Totnes is a small English town in Devon, already putting it's own measures in place to protect its environmental future.

Residents use bio-fuel from recylced fish and chip oil, growing sustainable food, and even finding their own form of currency.

Emma Hayward has more. "

It's up to us.

Naresh Giangrande of the Transition Network is at Copenhagen and has posted a very interesting blog post over at Transition Culture

Here is the bit that I find most interesting and distressing at the same time.
"This leads to an uncomfortable conclusion, and one which Bill McKibben of 350.org came to, that there will be no treaty to protect us against climate change. It is just too politically unrealistic. That means that if we are to create a resilient world it will be down to us, civil society to create it. It will be down to non governmental organisations, campaigners, and activists, permaculturalists and organic gardeners."
