There’s a good review of Future Scenarios by John-Paul Flintoff at the Times Online: http://timesonline.typepad.com/environment/2009/04/how-civilisation-will-collapse-and-when.html

I was really glad to see it get such a good review and summary in mainstream press.

I notice all the people in the photos are 20-35. I probably missed it, but - what do we do about disease, complications in childbirth, pain and chronic suffering? - I KNOW we have no alternative to a change in living standard, I just wondered if there is a plan? Who knows the old remedies of pre-industrial times and takes care of the ailing?

The growth of transition concepts is significantly due to his tireless efforts to engage people across the UK and beyond, much of which involves travel. He doesn't fly, preferring to send dvd's instead, doesn't have a car, recycles everything, insulates his home, collects rainwater, cycles when he can, shops locally for what he can't grow and inspires many people with his jovial thriftiness. He probably crochetted his own easter eggs this weekend too! Don’t shred Rob for using the train a lot.

Train travel uses oil too - diesel, or cheap/dirty electricity... travelling less is surely the aim?? Calm down with the train miles!
