| iI have found it amazing and shocking , the reactions from what i considered to be folk who were to my knowledge aware/green/survivalist, when confronted with the peak oil challenge and the towns in transition tool. one educator who goes foraging and has lived with his partner in the most inhospitable places on this earth was quite dismissive of the transition tool for schools , dismissing out of hand what it was trying to archive because he appeared not to like the title ! and dismissed it as a movement/cult thing. I have also been angrily confronted with statements " we will just have to pass the cost on to the customer" just not understanding . now if these reactions were from uneducated capitalist materialist then i would not be shocked , but it does seem that now its happening the people who i thought would get down and do something about it arnt even discussing it , not even the 20% fuel rise so far this year . I would like to know if you have encountered the same and any suggestions in how to promote positive discourse . |
