Peak Oil
Peak Oil is the term given to the point in time when the production of oil is at the highest it will ever be.
This doesn’t mean that we’ve run out of oil, but that it will be slower and more expensive to extract which will have massive implications on our current way of life.
Imagine rising petrol costs, rising food costs, rising household fuel costs, rising material costs.

Climate Change
Our world is warming dangerously and there is an near-consensus from the scientific community that it is the fault of our oil-addicted lifestyles.
This means that the way we are living is causing damage to our planet, We are pumping CO2 in to the atmosphere which is increasing the Green house effect and causing the average global temperature to rise which in turn is going unleash a number of not-positive changes in our weather and environment.
Imagine rising sea levels, increasing deserts, decreasing soil fertility, disappearing species and erratic extreme weather.

Transition Town
The Transition Town initiative is a great way that communities can explore and tackle the dual issues of Climate change and Peak oil together.
A transition town aims to increase their resilience, reduce their dependance on energy and find a new way of life that is positive for us and the world.
The process of coming together to Transition Luton is going to fun and will involve all of us. The first step is for all of us who are interested in doing something about Climate change, Peak Oil and community building to start getting to know each other, and to raise awareness across the town.
