Last week we held our fantastic **Transition Culture** “Win a Copy of the Atlas of Climate Change” competition, and it is now my honour to reveal the winners.

This will hopefully serve to energise people for the first TTT Open Space, which follows three days later, which takes the form of a self-organising community think-tank on food issues. Do come along, details below.

Sometimes you read an article that just hits the nail on the head, and this is one of them. While packing his bags to head off the the Conference on Peak Oil and Community Solutions in Ohio, Aaron at Powering Down, a man with a passion for post-peak solutions and posting pictures of his new baby covered in mushed carrot, sat down to write a brief piece about the conference, and ended up, as is sometimes the way with blogging, turning out a wonderful piece about energy descent and relocalisation.
