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.

Finding imaginative and creative ways to communicate ideas about energy descent is a big challenge. Just piling depressing information onto people is ultimately self-defeating, and feeds a sense of powerlessness. The [Cultivate Centre](http://www.cultivate.ie”Cultivate”) in Dublin has always been exceptionally good at communicating sustainability, through its written materials, [its programme of events](http://www.sustainable.ie/cultivate/calendar/index.htm”Events”), and also through its graphics materials. Now, as part of its new [Powerdown Community Project](http://www.sustainable.ie/powerdown/index.html), they have produced a rather cool flyer (in an interesting twist on the term) to promote the concept of powerdown, which they will distribute at various events around the country.

**Chris Skrebowski. Peak Oil and the Emerging Reality.**
*Chris is the editor or Petroleum Review and is a well known speaker on peak oil. He also uses very detailed Powerpoint presentations which he zips through so fast that comprehensive note taking is nigh on impossible! You can find his powerpoint [here](http://www.aspoitalia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=113&Itemid=90″PPTs”), which is well worth a read, as he is a challenge to even the most dedicated note taker! Here’s what I got down from his talk, for which I make no claims of completeness (it was very hot in that tent!)*

*Earlier in the year I spoke at the [Leading the Way](http://transitionculture.org/?p=295″LTW”) conference at Dartington which was organised by the Totnes Sustainability Group, and which launched DARE’s report on renewable energy for the South Hams. It was well received, and I was recently sent a transcript of some quite detailed notes of my talk taken by Dr. Carol Wellwood. I thought you might find it interesting, so here it is. It begins with the Chairman’s (David Radford) introduction… You can also download the Powerpoint presentation I used [here](http://susweb.net/tc/Climate-Changes-Twin-Sister-by-Rob-Hopkins.ppt”PPT”) and use it to accompany the notes below.*

That’s it, decision made. Don’t know why it took so long really, but finally we have agreed that we won’t fly any more. I have one flight booked already for October that I am committed to, but beyond that, it is either our van, travelling by train with the Man at Seat 61, or staying at home. The reasons are legion, and I’m sure you know most of them already. For me though, what was interesting was the process by which we actually finally decided, despite talking about it and knowing all the reasoning for years.
