We believe that Bristol should be a city-region that is living within environmental limits (one planet living). There are many different ways of achieving this, but we seem to be spending lots of time talking about how to do it. Inertia, differences of opinion, lack of understanding and acknowledgement about the size of the problem, vested interests, political disagreement and many other factors combine to slow down the pace of change. We believe that the imperative is so strong that there is a pressing need for a city-wide proposition that we can all get behind.

There will always be a tension between a truly democratic process during which everyone can feel a part and the ability to progress beyond talking to action. It is our intention to start 2012 by involving as many people as we can, but to also see 2012 as the year where we initiate a process of change that will accelerate our progress towards one planet living.
