Crash Course - Day 3: Local/Community Solutions

Transition Toronto (TTo) and the Institute for Resource-Based Economy (IRBE) present Chris Martenson’s ‘Crash Course’ about the coming changes in our economy, environment and energy. The course provides information on why major change is inevitable, what will be possible and impossible in the future, and what we can do about it.

 This session is the third of 4 sessions. It continues to point out the nature of our environmental problems and offers some solutions to the economic, energy, and environmental issues raised throughout the course. 

  The remaining session (held on April 10th) will cover local community-based solutions to these problems. 

Chris Martenson is an experienced teacher and personal resilience consultant. He has made the instructional materials for his "Crash Course" available, and it is these materials (videos and activities), augmented with some of our own, that we will be drawing on to delivery this course. Of the course, and society, Martenson has said:

“It's very important to distinguish between facts, opinions, and beliefs. So let me be right upfront about this. I hold three beliefs, which I'm going to share with you and then spend the rest of our time showing you how I got to these beliefs.

The first is that the next twenty years are going to be completely unlike the last twenty years. Second, I believe that its possible that the pace and/or scope of change could overwhelm the ability of our key social and support institutions to adapt. Third, I believe we do not lack any technology or understanding necessary to build ourselves a better future."

We share this belief, that it is possible to build a better future with the tools we have in hand. We only need your help with the building.

 Each session is $10.
