People often ask me about the 2 year Practical Sustainability course at **Kinsale Further Education College**, the fulltime permaculture training I set up in 2000 which, among many other things, gave birth to the Kinsale Energy Descent Plan. While I was working there there was never a website for the college, but now there is, and it gives you a very good idea of what is on offer there and as well as giving a nice feel for the spirit of the place. So, if you are thinking that a 2 year full-time permaculture training sounds like the thing for you, have a look at the website, Kinsale is a beautiful place to spend a couple of years changing your life!

For those who don’t know, the IFG is a North-South research and educational institution composed of leading activists, economists, scholars and researchers providing analyses and critiques on the cultural, social, political and environmental impacts of economic globalisation. It produces numerous publications; organises high-profile, large public events; hosts many issue-specific seminars and much more. Their last such gathering had been in San Francisco a few months ago, and the subject of this one, hosted in London, was “The Triple Crisis – climate chaos; peak oil (the end of cheap energy) and global resource depletion

For those of you who follow unfolding events at **Transition Culture**, I thought I might mention an upcoming event in Wales at which I am speaking. As mentioned recently on BBC Radio Wales, there is strong momentum starting to build for a Transition Town Lampeter, much of the energy behind that coming from the farming community. The talk is entitled **”Preparing West Wales for a future without oil”**, and takes place on Tuesday 3 April 2007 from 4.00 till 8.30pm at the Arts Hall, University of Wales, Lampeter, and is intended to stimulate discussion around the Transition Town concept. It should be a great event.
