ADAPT meets tomorrow

The March meeting of ADAPT (Audlem & District Acting Positively for Transition) will take place tomorrow evening, Wednesday 3rd March at 7.30pm, at the Baptist Church.

The film In Transition will be shown in addition to the normal business. This short film is an inspiring documentary showing what groups similar to ADAPT have achieved in their communities through the efforts of small groups of enthusiastic volunteers responding to the challenges posed by peak oil and climate change.

In February Sir Richard Branson warned that the world faces 'peak oil' within five years. "Don't let the oil crunch catch us out in the way that the credit crunch did," he said.

Also in February, the Daily Telegraph quoted Francisco Blanch, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch as saying: "Crude may touch $105 next year, with $150 in sight by 2014. Approximately 1.7bn consumers in emerging markets with a per capita income of $5,000 to $20,000 are eagerly waiting to buy cars, air-conditioning units, or white goods........."

Do please join us on Wednesday if you are interested in these issues and our local response to them. A warm welcome awaits! For further information contact Susan James on 811092.
