The flyer for [Transition Town Totnes](http://transitionculture.org/?page_id=427″TTT”) is now done, is at the printers, and will be ready tomorrow. I thought those of you outside of the ‘pop into Totnes and pick one up’ radius would like to see it. It was done by the very creative, professional and patient Simon Blackler of [Idealic](http://www.idealic.co.uk”Idealic”) in Ivybridge. Idealic is a South West Devon design agency specialising in corporate identity, concerned about the affects of climate change, wanting to work with companies who wish to work more sustainably, who I recommend wholeheartedly. You can download it here. Do feel free to print out and distribute or circulate in whatever way seems appropriate.

**Dennis Meadows. Peak Oil and Limits to Growth. Wednesday 19th July 2006.**
***Dennis Meadows** is one of the key figures in the environmental movement over the last 50 years, and one of the authors of perhaps the single best known environmental book “Limits to Growthâ€?, published in 1972. His presentation was one of the highlights of ASPO5 for me, and I was fortunate enough to be able to do an interview with him afterwards, which you’ll see as soon as I have transcribed it. You can download Meadows’ full presentation [here](http://www.aspoitalia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=113&Itemid=90″Meadowsppt”).*

Last Friday I went to see James Lovelock speaking to a packed [Barn Cinema](http://www.dartingtonarts.org.uk/cinema_diary.htm”Barn”) in Dartington as a promotion for his new book ["The Revenge of Gaia"](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0713999144/qid%3D1141460914/202-2636448-8929425″ROG”). The evening was, as I expected, one of mixed emotions, although ultimately I found it deeply frustrating. Lovelock is of course best known as creator of the Gaia theory, that of the Earth as a self-regulating organism. The original book on this theory had a profound effect on me. Seeing him last night, telling us that we are all doomed, and nothing we can think or do will have the slightest effect, felt a bit like seeing a band whose first album completely changed your life and became the soundtrack of a part of your history playing, ten years later, in Butlins, all flabby and sweaty and directionless.
