We are targeting action on the twin and related issues of Climate Change and Peak Oil. We feel that the Brisbane City Council (and indeed all levels of government here and world wide) are failing to plan for these issues adequately, and are therefore not sustainable. As such, we, as members of the Brisbane Community, aim to assist and work with Brisbane City Council to address these issues. It is early days yet, but we aim to work with the council, both at the officer and elected member levels. We are non party aligned. Councils can only push the sustainable agenda as much as the community will give them the mandate to do so.
If you would like to be actively involved in the Transition Town Movement in Brisbane, please join our ning (http://brisbanetransitionhub.ning.com/)
Transition Town Kurilpa are meeting every second Wednesday. We meet at 6 pm. at the back of Spiral on Boundary St, West End. We generally share food at meetings, preferable locally sourced, vegetarian and organic. Spiral has a Cob Pizza oven, so sometimes we contribute pizza ingredients if you can. Most of us also pick up our Food Connect box on the night and share form that.
Please also let us know if you’re coming and have read the primer.
