We're on the precipice of global disasters of our own making that could forever undermine our ability to survive and thrive on this planet. But we're also on the threshold of awesome and entirely unexpected possibilities that could unleash our largely hidden potential.
\;
For this to happen\, we will need to talk plainly with each other about the seemingly bewildering situation we face\, and quickly make some very clear decisions together.
Join Transition Sebastopol and Special Guests Michael Brownlee (Transition Boulder County) &\; David Johnson (Transition Portland) for this powerful introduction to the inspiring Transition movement\, and learn how you can become involved in helping our community to carve out a pathway to freedom from fossil fuel dependence and to develop local resilience and self-reliance in the face of global crises.

Conserving water helps to maintain this resource\, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
The City of Sebastopol will present a Town Hall to discuss the conservation of water\, both inside and outside your home. We will also present home products designed to conserve water. The meeting will focus on ways in which City residents and businesses can help meet our 2009 Voluntary Water Conservation Goal\: to reduce water usage by 15% from the past 10-years&rsquo\; average.
The forum will feature 3 speakers who will discuss techniques to help you improve water usage. Dave Leff will discuss the interior\, Rick Taylor will cover the yard and exterior areas\, and Mike Bishop will demonstrate products from Sebastopol Hardware.
After the presentations\, we will have an open forum.
The Town Hall is FREE and refreshments will be served.
Leading the meeting will be Mayor Sarah Glade Gurney and Council Member Kathleen Shaffer.
