Imparare, imparare

I believe that one of the main factors contributing to the sense of panic that often sets in immediately after an awareness of peak oil, especially for young men, is the realisation that we no longer have many of the basic skills our grandparents took for granted. One of the most useful things a Transition Initiative can do is to offer widely available training in a range of these skills.

Transition

"When faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual human - or a species - will either die or become extinct or rise above their limitations with an evolutionary leap.This is the state of humanity now, and it is its challenge."

Eckhart Tolle
