At the meeting on Weds 12th September, individuals and groups were asked “What do you need to become an ‘ambassador’ for ‘Steady State’?“
Answers so far (and please, add to this list!);
knowledge of steady state economy (“package”)
knowledge of city-level politics
t-shirts
scripts
The right questions (“us” and “them”)
Cultural awareness
Well-informed about the real world implications of steady state practice! Training Session?
Definition of steady state, especially re: carbon!
Accessible versions of Tim Jackson’s “Prosperity without Growth”
e.g. “Cartoon Kate” or diagram
Practical examples
Role model
Know the steps to the transition to get there
No particular political party.
SO! We will be making T-shirts (MCFly cartoonist Marc Roberts, bless him, turned up in one that he’d made. More to follow)
We will be turning the report into various very accessible formats (short briefing papers, cartoons, videos etc)
We will be offering training – in pubic speaking, running workshops, the mechanics of Steady-State and other topics.
Watch this space!!
