3. A story in pictures

4. 31,000 people
froze to death in
their own homes
last winter…within
touching distance
of other people
that live in this
civilised,
industrialised,
developed,
wealthy country…
5. Angry or excited? “A different world cannot
be built by indifferent people”
6. Why do we let stuff like energy happen to us?
Communities all over the planet choose not to let stuff
just happen to them…when a community decides…
11. Why is it important?
“..at this time there are people
who are destitute and forced, out
of hunger, to rely on food banks,
and in a country as affluent as
ours it’s a disgrace.” Vincent
Nichols, Archbishop of
Westminster
12. How to do it…
…flip archaic thinking & kick at…
13. It is all about the middle ground
First they ignore you, then they
ridicule you, then they fight
you, and then you win –
Mohandas Gandhi – You can
get organized.

31. See that wheel…it works rather well doesn’t it?
Communities come together to campaign,
run, knit, chat, worship, generate their own
energy and, among endless other things, dig
the garden…
…imagine the potential of every one of those
communities harnessing the power of their
groups and buying stuff…together!
Local activism…global impact!
34. What do you think
now?
Can Community Buying
change the way we buy
stuff in the UK?
35. The possibilities? Infinite…come and join in…
I know of two things that are infinite:
the Universe and human stupidity…and

But I am not sure about The Universe
