Posted by: Tom
‘Transition Chepstow’ is a new group that aims to help develop a community response to the challenges of climate change and reducing oil supplies. We aim to draw on the genius and ingenuity of the community (Chepstow and neighbouring communities) to develop practical solutions to these problems. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels will help to reduce our carbon footprint and develop resilience in the face of increasing fuel prices.
Our community is following in the footsteps of other Transition communities, including Totnes and Forest of Dean . Whilst the challenges are significant, we plan to make the journey engaging, educational and fun where we can! We believe that an even stronger and more vibrant Chepstow can emerge after the cheap oil has gone.
To start discussions in the community, we are showing three films during March. We would be delighted if you, friends or colleagues could join us for the films and discussion. We anticipate that these films will spark discussions and plans in areas such as local food production, energy conservation and production, public transport, tourism and education. The film details are as follows:
Monday 3rd March - ‘The Power of Community’
A colourful and inspiring look at how Cuba survived on 60% less oil – followed by a discussion on how we (as a community) should respond to climate change and declining oil supplies. The focus of this first discussion will be a sustainable energy plan for our community. Start 6.30pm - Beaufort Hotel, Chepstow
Monday 17th March - ‘Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash’
A direct and powerful film looking at the peaking of oil production and the possible, serious effects this is likely to have on society. Start 7.30pm – Beaufort Hotel, Chepstow. Followed by group discussion on our community’s response to climate change and declining oil supplies.
Monday 31st March – ‘An Inconvenient Truth ‘
The ground breaking Al Gore movie that raised the profile of the climate change crisis. Start 7.30pm – Beaufort Hotel, Chepstow
Followed by group discussion on our community’s response to climate change and declining oil supplies.
The films are free however a small donation on the evening will be greatly appreciated.
