Transition Towns Film ...

We had a showing of the new film on the Transition Towns movement 'In Transition 1.0' at our March Monthly meeting (at DealAbility 4th Tues each month). A great film, very informative, not preachie and really showed the diversity, depth and energy that has been unleashed since the movement started in 2006.

We need to start the debate locally whether this is a route we want Deal to go down. The film is great 'openner' for those discussions & action. We own a copy of the film and we want it to be used. We will be using it again in our meetings but we need you to use it too.

Do you fancy running a 'home meeting' for friends & neighbours; are you a member of another organisation or a teacher/student which would be interested in showing it at you school/college? If so please contact us asap at DealWithItToday@yahoo.co.uk

You can watch the film online as well but its 40mins long http://vimeo.com/8029815

Transition Towns Film on Tues 23rd March

DealWithIT's next monthly meeting on Tuesday 23rd March, 7:30pm at Dealability, 43 Victoria Road, Deal CT14 7AY will have a showing of the film 'In Transition 1.0' followed by a discussion on what next for Deal.

'IN TRANSITION 1.0 From oil dependence to local resilience'
'In Transition 1.0' was compiled from footage sent in by Transition initiatives around the world. Over 100 tapes were received and this film is edited from them. Transition is a movement of communities around the world responding creatively and productively to peak oil and climate change, seeing them as an historic opportunity to build the world anew.

Will Fidel attend Environment Exhibition?

Forget the will he/won't he rumours about Barack Obama attending The Copenhagen Climate Summit. The question that is now on everyone's lips is 'Will Fidel come to the 'Deal With It' Library Exhibition?'.

The odds are on that Fidel (Deal Library's only feline member) will not miss this exciting event, given he is a highly intelligent cat, no doubt concerned that mankind seem intent on ruining the planet not only for themselves, but for every other species too.

The exhibtion at Deal Libray starts on Saturday 19th December and runs throughout the Christmas period. Please come down and have a look at our displays and information, including what 'Deal With It' have achieved this year, activities by other local organisations as well as pointers on how you too could make 2010 a greener year.
