This would be a great community project. Imagine if teams of volunteers turned up at weekends to clean up the river. If we could raise some money we could extend the walkways and create picnic areas. it could be lovely!

I also live a lot of the time in London, so Diss does not seem such a consumer oriented society. However, the transport in the country (or lack of it) makes reliance on the car a necessity. In LOndon, I hardly ever drive and use public transport. This factor influences, almost underpins,most other aspects of life with respect to the sustainability of Diss as a merket town and a hub of local activity. Revival of local shopping and local support for e.g. Diss Corn Hall events is still ( I guess) dependent on a wider geographic area than Diss town so regular buses would have to be adopted. The number of large supermarkets has ripped the heart out of local food and other home accessories shopping in Diss. Mere St is a rather depressing street with lots of charity shops. Limiting the food miles would knock out, or very substantially change, the supermarket scene, and give local producers a better deal. But while Diss services a wide rural area, it will need to supply in bulk, so any action must be co-ordinated with other towns. The one-off tasteful shops in the old town would be a useful start for reviving the historic area. Add a few good coffee shops and some street entertainment. recycling and energet conservation would be promoted and enabled. Diss could adopt as a USP, industrial parks for eco-friendly business. And of course get people walking and pedalling – but how far is this feasible with the speed of life we live at the moment.

The more I watch the news, especially the economic news, the more worried I get. I think the next big downturn could happen at any time, so we really need to be prepared. The two key changes that will help are more local food and community organisation so we can support each other in whatever ways are possible.

What do other people think?

Comment on The Power of Community by garyalex

Working with a group, for me, has so many personal benefits that it is the right thing to do even if it isn’t helping with sustainability. I am working with the Transition Town movement (see http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ ) and helping with our local Transition group?

Would anyone like to help with that or join us? If so, email me, garyalex@earthconnected.net.

Comment on Environmental Issues by garyalex

The easiest starting point for these issues is lowering personal fuel use, which I have been trying to do. I’ve been insulating my house and kept it cooler last winter, wearing more clothes, and using more wood in the living room instead of the central heating. I try to use trains, and to travel together with friends when using the car if I can.

What are other people doing? How can we make a start to some of the other measures, which are inherently community oriented?
