I attended the monthly Transition Barrie meet-up yesterday (third Wednesday of each month 7pm at City Hall).
A transition/permaculture video was screened titled Words from the Edge. Its worth a watch. I think that the most important points to me were that none of us know exactly what the future will look like or how this will work but we should explore with an open mind. Another challence is overcoming cognitive dissonance that states that we know it is not sustainable but at the same time we like how things are.
A positive feedback loop of crises emerges from an economy based on greed and profit, builds a culture of not caring. Those who can do nothing don't care, those who are driven by greed are motivated to not care. Concentration of power influences political power and our structure of government changes. 1 Billion people are going hungry not because the land cannot support them, but because the industrial system sucks every grain out to feed animals and produce biofuel. Half of the hungry people in the world today are producers of food but cannot consume it. - paraphrasing Vandana Shiva
Permaculture gives power to people on the ground. It changes the culture of people to care about the land and that culture spreads outwards. For this reason, systems of power and control will not help from the top down. In fact, they would only be motivated to scatter such efforts, if anything.
