Green Drinks
Thursday 15th at the White Horse, Castle Street,8pm. The numbers of members are still growing (almost60) so its going well!! Since last month Hertford has become an "Official" Transition Town. Why not come along and find out about this and other environmental issues or why not just come along for a drink and to say hi?

Hmm, not sure having a large glass of whatever if going to sort the dwindling stocks of oil reserves the world has or stopping the planet from spontaneously combusting!!!!! However a nice drink would make me forget about it all!!!!!

I'm all for this type of thing. The more environmental issues are discussed in person, the more likely the so called, green initiatives which governments and industry put forward are likely to be questioned and the less of those dreadfully wasteful Toyota Pious things will get made.[:)]

You can find out more about Transition Hertford at http://Transitionhertford.ning.com
In fact did you see the news about peak oil today? The Graun:
"There is a "significant risk" that global oil production could begin to decline in the next decade, researchers said today.
A report by the UK Energy Research Council (UKERC) said worldwide production of conventionally extracted oil could "peak" and go into terminal decline before 2020 – but that the government was not facing up to the risk."

Transition town? Does that mean people will stop driving a few hundred yards to take kids to school and the council will allow us to recycle plastic? Doubt it unfortunately.
