1. Create Positive
Visions. Our primary focus is on
creating positive, empowering possibilities and opportunities that go beyond
dependence on fossil fuels.
2. Provide People Good
Information and Trust Them. We raise
awareness of peak oil, climate change, the downfalls of economic growth, and
related issues in an enthusiastic, empowering, and honest way. We respect each person’s ability to make a
response that is appropriate to their situation.
3. Foster Inclusion
and Openness. We appreciate
diversity and welcome all community members to join us.
4. Enable Sharing and
Networking. We share our personal
and communal successes, failures, insights abilities, and connections to build a
collective body of experience.
5. Build Resilience. We work towards increasing the capacity of
our communities (which includes our ecosystem) to withstand and adapt to shock,
and change as needed – in particular as it relates to our food, economy, and
energy uses.
6. Be Aware of Inner
and Outer Transition. We become more
aware that the challenges we face are not just caused by our technologies but
are a direct result of our world view and belief systems. We journey together through the fear, grief,
and denial that this awareness can create by following our passions.
7. Encourage self‐organization. Decision making is allowed to occur at the
most appropriate, practical and empowering level, and in such a way that it
models the ability of natural systems to self-organize.
