Have you heard of peak oil?

You will. The idea is that we now need more energy every year as a planet, and we are able to find less and less, at higher production costs, which will lead to more economic and environmental upheaval, as we are already seeing. The same will apply to water and other precious resources. The bottom line is that we cannot continue to live as we have over the past few decades. Big changes are coming.

116 official U.S. organizations are behind an effort to begin the movement towards local and sustainable agriculture and economy, from permaculture to local jobs to renewable energy sources. As we transition the way we live, it will become easier to handle or avoid the shocks that seem to be on the horizon.

Is your company ready for what’s coming? Is your family ready? My neighbor and friend Alex Volfson, a WPI graduate, is a renaissance man in his 20s, working hard to learn, organize, recruit, and execute ideas in support of Transition Framingham, because he sees the future coming fast.

What’s cool about Alex is that he wants not just to “preach to the choir,” but to make them sing, and to make it fun. Having watched him at two events recently, I see that is true. He now has me and my wife involved, and I think you will want to become involved as well.

With upcoming movies and trainings, there are many different ways to apply your talents and prepare for the shift. Learn more today at http://www.transitionframingham.org/
