November Newsletter



Greetings Transition Towners.

First off, may I invite you all to our monthly Green Drinks, held first Thursday of the month at The Oakwood Pub, High Street West, Glossop, which means the next one is next week on Thursday 7th November.

We will be joined by representatives of SPEED, the Charlesworth group that has been campaigning for 20mph speed limits. There are indications of support now from Derbyshire County Council so this is an exciting campaign. From a Transition perspective this is about more than just road safety, and could help us build communities based on people not cars. Dare I also say that as I’ve never heard a woman argue against reduced speed limits it could even be a feminist issue?

GTi is also getting back into showing films, and on 20th November at 8PM, upstairs at The Oakwood,A Convenient Truth. Al Gore does not appear, but instead we have the city of Curitiba in Brazil demonstrating sustainable solutions for cities. If we have time we will also show A Time Comes about the Greenpeace occupation of Kingsnorth Power station in 2008.
we will be showing

Then on Wednesday 27th November, 8PM at The Oakwood (where else?) the Glossopdale Time Coop is having an inter-generational quiz night. Answer questions on the last six decades and win Time Credits.

Our sister group in Transition Buxton is hosting an Alternative Economics Seminar on Saturday 9th November. If people want to go lifts may be on offer.

Finally, Glossop library is still open and not relocated, so why not go and use it. Amongst the books you will find there are the Transition Handbook and Feral by George Monbiot (or at least you will
find it once I’ve finished reading it). Both are worth a read and provide food for thought.

Meanwhile in the real world, the cost of not transitioning to alternatives to fossil fuels are coming closer to home. After mass protests against fracking for unconventional oil in Balcombe, the residents of Eccles are awaiting the imminent arrival of a rig on Barton Moss

There are alternatives. Let’s make them happen.

  1. INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
    Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.

    Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline. You have to make a time schedule for yourself and stick to it. There will be a time frame of course for any job you take up and you have to fulfill that project within that time frame.

    There are many things that can be done working from home. A few of them is listed below that will give you a general idea about the benefits of this concept.

    Baby-sitting
    This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.

    Nursery
    For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.

    Freelance
    Freelance can be in different wings. Either you can be a freelance reporter or a freelance photographer. You can also do designing or be in the advertising field doing project on your own. Being independent and working independently will depend on your field of work and the availability of its worth in the market. If you like doing jewellery designing you can do that at home totally independently. You can also work on freelancing as a marketing executive working from home.

You can match your time according to your convenience and complete whatever projects you get.

    Diet food
    Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.

    Thus think over this concept and go ahead.
