Letter from Andrew Turner, MP
“Congratulations on being accepted into the national Transition Towns Network.
I was pleased to read of the work that you do, encouraging those who work to meet the challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change, and I certainly think that it is a good idea…
I wish you every success with the project…”
Research into changes in scientific theories shows that change starts slowly, grows to a peak and then tails off.
In other words, a few innovators start the new idea off, and then slowly but surely more and more people commit to the new idea. After some time, a tipping point is reached, when a landslide occurs. Then it slows again to the last few die-hards who refuse to accept the new idea.
Acceptance of Climate Change has followed this pattern.
Acceptance of Peak Oil is currently following this pattern.
And individual action to reduce oil dependency and carbon emissions will, too.
Vav Simon went to meet the Town Councillors in Newport yesterday.
Welcomed by the Members, she was reminded that the Council was due for elections in a couple of months. While several Members were very intersted, there was no action that could easily be started at this time.
We hope the information will stay in everyone’s minds and play a part in influencing plans for the future of the town.
