Rob Hopkins reminds us that the oil our world depends on is steadily running out. He proposes a unique solution to this problem -- the Transition response, where we prepare ourselves for life without oil and sacrifice our luxuries to build systems and communities that are completely independent of fossil fuels.
GOALS
Hopkins wants to explain his view that the Transition response is the best response due to the current status of the climate crisis. He wants to clarify how the most effective solution would be to stop using fossil fuels all together, instead of trying to figure out a way to prolong their use as long as possible.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING MATERIALS
By loving and leaving all that oil has done for us … we are able to then begin the creation of a world which is more resilient, more nourishing, and in which we find ourselves fitter, more skilled and more connected to each other.” (Rob Hopkins)
