Transition Montpelier happened

I went to the first public meeting of transition Montpelier earlier. It was an interesting evening.

Topics discussed included;

· Picton Square
· Solar power
· Home improvements
· Living Streets and 20s Plenty
· A Montpelier festival
· Developing Montpelier Park

I attach a couple of bad photos to prove it.

To find out about the next one email montpelier@transitionbristol.net and ask to be added to the list.

I find the Transition movement interesting because at it's core are some very radical ideas (our society is fucked, the government can't help, organise stuff yourself in a non-hierarchical way)

It is however packaged in such a way that it is appealing to the middle classes. This kind of trojan-horse approach may not be ideal, may be doomed to fail, but it may also be the best hope we have.
