Geoengineering
We are doing it now
But badly
Lots of BIG Science/Big Tech/BIG Businessschemes i.e. mirrors in space, algae in ocean,
artificial or GMO trees
The best means to take C02 out of the air is
not technical means, but trees (and soil)

Conservation Refugees
indigenous tribal peoples, like endangered species, are being driven toextinction. Their languages are swiftly dying and we're losing a huge
resource in their invaluable knowledge derived from millennia in their
respective homelands. Environmentalists, determined to preserve
biological systems and entities, should now be equally driven to
preserve aboriginal cultures.

Major-General Jeffery & Peter Andrews
Major-General Jeffery hopesthat within a decade a third
of Australia's farmers - and
eventually all - will have
stopped using artificialfertilisers, dramatically
boosted vegetation species,
substantially reduced or
ceased irrigation andadopted a more holistic,
natural approach to farm
management.2009, Sydney Morning Herald

Transition is determinedly inclusive

successful transition through peak oil

and organisations, rather than a
continued fracturing and antagonising.

managed successfully by the people who use them,

Cooperatives
Set up the many simple cooperativesenabling all the unemployed, homeless,
bored, retired, people to get into the
community gardens etc. that would enablethem to start producing many of the basic
things they need. Can we set up co-ops to run
a bakery, bike repair shop, home help service,
insulating operation, clothes making and
repairing operation. Dr Ted Trainer

Ostrom identifies eight design principles of stable local common
pool resource management [4]
1. Clearly defined boundaries
2. Local rules for giving and taking of commons
3. Collective decision-making process
4. Effective monitoring accountable to users
5. Scale of sanctions for violating resource community rules
6. Conflict resolution cheap and easy to access
7. Self-determination of community recognized by higher-levelauthorities;
8. organization in the form of multiple layers of nestedenterprises, with small local commons at the base level.
