During last Monday’s discussion/action group, which we are now unofficially calling Transition Cleveland, we discussed chapters 7 and 8 of the Transition Handbook. This part of the book transcends the typical fear, doom and gloom predictions for post-peak oil society. The author asks us to create a positive vision for the community.
As a group, I think we struggled with this; we seem to be more comfortable talking about transition-ing rather than what life might be like after the transition.
We also learned how to ferment tea to make Kombucha. Jeff and I were given a “baby” (a symbiotic colony of yeast and bacteria) to start our own batch. Each batch of tea has a “mother” (a colony of yeast and bacteria) and produces a baby colony that can be given away. Kombucha has a refreshing taste and is said to contain probiotics. Kate says she has been drinking it everyday and has never felt better.
