Exactly what I was thinking about. We need to involve everybody in this thing. A lot of people won't have the same views, or even believe in peak oil and climate change but we want them on board.
How do we reach the people who don't or wouldn't ordinarily come to a Transition Town meeting?
Including the economy as the third TT challenge is a start...
