What does GreenTEA mean?
Governments are aware that as the oil runs out our economy faces a collapse which makes the current recession look trivial, but they have been unwilling to do much about it because they are frightened that the voters will not accept anything which is less convenient than their current lifestyle.
The Transition Towns Network - of which GreenTea is the local branch for Eynsham and the surrounding area between Oxford and Witney - is dedicated to grass-roots action, to demonstrating what can be done to make the Transition from an oil-dependent economy to one that uses only renewable energy and is therefore sustainable indefinitely.
By showing that a low-energy, low carbon lifestyle can still retain most of the benefits of modern civilisation, we hope to remove the fear of an unknown future and allow our politicians to take the important decisions they need to make to secure our future and that of our children and grandchildren.
