High Wycombe's Transport in Transition  All the evidence we have proves to us that the last 200 years of cheap and abundant fossil fuels have supplied the energy for the generation of a highly mobile, complex, well-fed, inter-connected and inter-dependent industrialised societies. It has lead to amazing economic growth, an explosion in population and damage to our atmosphere. That period is about to come to an end. It is not sustainable. We have over-shot. Everything is about to change. High complexity equals high fragility. ‘Big’ and distant will break down. Small and local will last. Hence we need to rebuild resilience into our Business Community through a process of ‘relocalisation’.
The only alternative is to collapse. The Business Community is the solution. The future is bright for those who accept this paradigm change. We have just 20 years to bring about this dramatic shift. In this future energy and food will be highly priced and highly prized. Everyone will be trying to generate as much of their own as possible and rely upon the ingenuity of the Business community for their basic economic needs & security. This is a step-change from where we are today. Few Businessmen or women even think beyond the next Financial Year let alone know build a sustainable local Business less reliant upon long distance transport or high energy product systems. We have a lot of work ahead. You cannot wait for someone else to do it for you because it is US who have to change. It cannot be imposed and there are no acceptable alternatives. Accept it. Join. This page is dedicated to the Businesses of High Wycombe. The visionaries, the entrepreneurs, the shop keep, the farmer, the technologist, the financier, the recycler, the biofuel specialist... we need you all. Are you a Business in Transition?
