Film series has ended
Transition Northfield has started a film series titled “Opportunity in Uncertain Times — A film series with some new perspectives”. We will show “The End of Suburbia”, about oil depletion, on Friday March 19th (Just Food Community Room). We will show “The Power of Community”, about how Cuba survived peak oil, on Friday March 12th (Just Food Community Room) and Tuesday the 23rd (lower level of Archer House). And we will show “Fresh”, about sustainable food production, on Friday April 9th (Just Food Community Room). All films start at 6:00 PM. Click on the poster picture to see a larger version. We hope to see you there!
Note: we have cancelled the showing of “Fresh” on April 20th. Stay tuned for possible future home viewings.
This morning I read about another Transition Initiative in the US…Transition Berea (Kentucky.) I had ordered some calendars from these folks last November. Below I posted their vision and mission statements.
VISION
A vibrant, self-reliant city known for its strong local economy, regional food system, minimal use of fossil fuels, and engaged, skilled citizenry.
MISSION
To increase Berea’s resilience – its ability to withstand external economic and environmental shocks – by partnering with other community groups and individuals to re-localize our economy, food system, and energy sources while radically reducing the city’s reliance on fossil fuels.
Exciting!
