Transition Exeter

We'll be following up our discussion about the Zero Growth conference and taking an initial look at the Sustainable Development Commission's publication 'Prosperity Without Growth?' which can be found at http://www.sd-commission.org.uk/publications.php?id=914.  There is an interview with the author Tim Jackson at: http://transitionculture.org/2009/12/15/naresh-giangrande-interviews-tim-jackson/.

Also worth a look for those interested in how we value different jobs, this report from the New Economics Foundation explains how much more Hospital cleaners are worth  to society than bankers. This research says hospital cleaners create £10 of value for every £1 they are paid while bankers destroy £7 of value for every £1 they earn!

It would be great if you could let me know on andi.tobe@virgin.net if you're planning to come, as space is limited and if there's loads of us we can find somewhere bigger.
