"It's easy for people to forget that local businesses employ local people and play very important roles in every community. Don't take your local businesses for granted. 9Carrots provides a way of supporting them and encouraging them to engage even more with the communities they serve - and begin to tackle the big issues of climate change and resource depletion." - Graham Truscott, Transition Training & Consulting

"People matter. The powerful and important long term effects of the 9carrots project are the way in which it affects the culture of a local community, rather than simply the improvement in businesses' energy efficiency.
The 9carrots project is a way of connecting your community to its supply chains, production methods, employment and financial decisions by setting up supportive relationships between the people and local businesses. Then, together, your community can begin working towards the changes it needs to make to become resilient to peak oil and Climate Change.
9carrots is a positive, friendly project. It offers individuals an easy, non-embarrassing way of coming out of their denial and participating in their community and its ethical decisions. Once they are participating, 9carrots progressively offers them more involvement in their local community groups and other avenues to a new lifestyle." - Annesley Newholm, 9carrots
