Alongside the need for a Transition initiative to regularly do some SELF-REFLECTION about how the process is going, it is vital, in terms of AVOIDING BURNOUT and maintaining MOMENTUM that on a personal level, as individuals, we constantly check in as to how we are balancing Transition with different aspects of our lives.
Here is a short promotional film made about Transition Streets (premiered at the recent Energy Fair), telling the stories of some of those who have got involved…
Here’s a short film from the recent Open Eco-Homes event in Stroud… my thanks to Philip Booth…
As someone who was just weeks away from installing a woodstove into my house, I was fascinated, as well as somewhat horrified, to read an excellent paper by Nick Grant and Alan Clarke called ‘Biomass – a burning issue’, published by the Association of Environment Conscious Builders (AECB). Their arguments are convincing. They open with a quote from David Olivier, who writes that “biomass boilers are an expensive way to make climate change worse and reverse over a century of public health improvements”. Strong words. The writers, both of whom heat their homes using wood, set out to investigate whether Olivier was right, rather, I sense, hoping he wasn’t. “It would have been much easier not to write this”, they state, but on balance, I am deeply grateful that they did, as it is a fascinating and very important piece of work.
Totnes Civic Hall, now graced with 75 photovoltaic panels...
On Saturday Transition Town Totnes held one of those events that feels really celebratory and somehow like it marks a significant step forward in the whole Transition process (well, in Totnes anyway…). The Transition Streets Energy Fair was designed to celebrate the new photovoltaic installation on the Civic Hall, to inspire a new round of recruitment for Transition Streets, to provide the public with access to a range of renewable energy installers and information, and to raise the whole profile of renewables and energy conservation. It did all of these, and more, in a very well-attended day with a great buzz.
