New film pilot looks at backyard food growing in Lewes
Here’s a pilot for a TV programme called ‘Growing Communities’, produced and directed by Sara Proudfoot Clinch which “gives you a glimpse at how to grow your own community from meeting the Transition Town Lewes group who are learning to live without fossil fuels, to community allotments, to bee keeping in the church yard, to keeping chickens in a tiny back garden of a town house”.

Richard Heinberg interviewed in Totnes: “I think 2011 is going to be an interesting year… in the Chinese sense…” Part One
On Richard Heinberg’s recent visit to Totnes, which included a talk on ‘The End of Growth‘, myself, Ben Brangwyn of Transition Network (BB) and Frances Northrop of Transition Town Totnes (FN) did an interview with Richard. Part 2 will appear here tomorrow….
Welcome to Totnes, lovely to have you here again! The first question is: your new book is about economics and the book before was looking at coal….but in terms of the peak oil question that underpinned your previous books, what’s your assessment of where we are now? Is it still as much a part of your overall analysis as it was….?
Oh yes, very much so. The new book, The End of Growth makes the case that world economic growth is effectively at an end, both for reasons internal to the world financial monetary system and also for reasons external to the world financial monetary system and the primary factor outside the monetary system is oil.

A February Round-up of What’s Happening out in the World of Transition
You have amazed us again with all the wonderful things you’re doing…so here’s a taste of what’s going on in the world of Transition. Let’s start in Canada. Transition Guelph will Unleash their initiative with a Resilience 2011 Community Festival and become the second official Transition initiative in Canada…all very exciting! There’ll be lots of activities to inspire local people and build interest while also celebrating the many wonderful things already happening to make Guelph sustainable and resilient. They need volunteers to help make the day a success so why not join in the fun? Radio Ecoshock recently aired a one hour programme called ‘Transition – the West Coast Scene’, and you can listen to it online here, and there’ll be more programmes coming up soon that discuss related topics, so keep listening.
