Publishers Description: We live in an oil-dependent world, and have got to this level of dependency in a very short space of time, using vast reserves of oil in the process without planning for when the supply is not so plentiful. Most people dont want to think about what happens when the oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead can have a positive effect. They can lead to the rebirth of local communities, which will generate their own fuel, food and housing. They can encourage the development of local currencies, to keep money in the local area. They can unleash a local ‘skilling-up, so that people have more control over their lives.The Transition Handbook is the manual which will guide communities to begin this ‘energy descent journey. The argument that ‘small is inevitable is upbeat and positive, as well as utterly convincing. Read this book!
