World wide concern is growing! Climate Change poses the greatest challenge to humankind. This time brings agreat opportunity for rethinking the way we live and making conscious choices and actions about what kind of communityand world we would like to live in.
We live at a fascinating point in history. Now is the time for everyone to get involved in the work of creating sustainable communities, villages, towns & cities. Communities, when resilient, enable people to weather the energy shocks that accompany peak oil and other major disruptions. | CAT invites you to the 2008 member’s conference to explore and then follow pathways of practical actions that will reduce our carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. There will be workshops covering key issues including energy, transport, carbon offsetting, and greening the workplace. It will provide the opportunity to network with other interested members, discuss the issues presented by climate change, and pick up practical information and advice. Come along, get inspired and help us bring climate change to the top of the political agenda – places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment! |

I've had an excellent weekend and will go home with ideas and inspiration to further my bit. Count me in for next year!" The 2008 CAT Members conference is set to be an inspiration in re-discovering traditional and sustainable lifestyles in order to overcome the energy crisis set to dominate the future of politics, technology and comunities.
