Clr Larry Whipper put his support behind the Transition Town Concept today.
“ This is another great local initiative by CANWin. They are definitely setting the benchmark and I will be putting my full support behind them in the endevours to bring a sustainability focus into the shire”. In fact I was one of the first to sign up!
“I agree with Peter Lachnewinsky and others completely”, Larry Said. I have been on both the Local Agenda 21 Committee and more recently the Sustainability Committee of Council. We (Council) have made some gains, but real change as we know, always starts within the community. An in touch Council and/or government should respond accordingly!
“Sadly our Council has gone backwards in some respects. Rather than involving the community it has dismantled a number of community committees, thus preventing true representation and and input from local people. Of course I opposed such a move, and will continue to fight hard to reinstate these committees and include the people of the Shire in local government”.
"One of my commitments is to push to reinstate the Sustainability Committee and resolve to form a local partnership with CANWin. This way those with the passion, enthusiasm and expertise can continue to present community initiatives to Council, who would ideally support these with monetary assistance and advocacy”.
"In this age of diminishing natural resources, global over population and warming, I believe in the concept of local garden, food co-ops and a more realistic and community based approach to find and implement local solutions to lessen our impact upon our planet and to reduce our insensitive destruction and consumption of our children’s future"!
"It seems that CANWin believe the same. Lets get on with it. The Transition Town idea will be one of the first things that I will take to the New Council. Lets hope that they will be enlightened enough to see the benefits of such a concept. I will be moving a motion at the Council meeting on the 23rd of July. Hopefully this motion will be supported by Councillors and we will meet with CANWin soon to discuss ways that Council can assist with the process of Transition Town", Larry said
