indigenous tribal peoples, like endangered species, arebeing driven to extinction. Their languages are swiftlydying and we're losing a huge resource in their invaluableknowledge derived from millennia in their respectivehomelands.

Transition Culture

Transition is determinedly inclusiveand non-blaming, arguing that asuccessful transition through peak oil

and climate change will by necessity beabout a bringing together of individualsand organisations, rather than acontinued fracturing and antagonising.

Cooperatives Set up the many simple cooperatives enabling all

the unemployed, homeless, bored, retired, peopleto get into the community gardens etc. that wouldenable them to start producing many of the basic

things they need. Can we set up co-ops to run abakery, bike repair shop, home help service,insulating operation, clothes making and repairingoperation. Dr Ted Trainer

PrinciplesOstrom identifies eight design principles of stable local

common pool resource management [4]

1. Clearly defined boundaries2. Local rules for giving and taking of commons3. Collective decision-making process4. Effective monitoring accountable to users5. Scale of sanctions for violating resource community

rules6. Conflict resolution cheap and easy to access7. Self-determination of community recognized by higher-

level authorities;8. organization in the form of multiple layers of nestedenterprises, with small local commons at the baselevel.
