The Simple Revolution: Powerpoint Presentation

How we need to change: The Simple Revolution

"If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do." - Mahatma Gandhi

Simple Revolution Powerpoint Presentation - Work in progress

My talk is about showing people:

1. How urgent the situation is.
2. The changes some of us have made to significantly reduce our emissions.
3. Why they need to act now, rather than wait for government action.
4. That we can make a difference.

Structure of the talk

• ~5 minutes - why renewables not an answer
• ~5 minutes - why they need to act and how they can make a difference
• ~15 minutes - how they need to act
• ~30 minutes - Questions

About the author

Pedro (Pete Brace) graduated from university with a first class honours degree in Computer Science. He then went on to work in the video games industry for 7 years, soon earning a good salary as a Lead Game Programmer, but living an unfulfiling and unsustainable life. In the end he came to his senses and left his job to find a more sustainable life. He is now very happy living as an eco-peasant at Tinkers' Bubble fossil fuel free community in Somerset, UK, where he earns around 97% less than in his old job. ^[1]
