The Sunshine Coast EDAP covers the entire region of the Sunshine Coast located in Queensland, Australia which has a population of 330,000+ and covers an area of more than 3100 square km.
Joanne Poyourow has been rather busy recently, posting some very insightful pieces about the broadening and the deepening of Transition. From asking whether Transition is a movement or an organisation, to exploring issues of diversity in Transition. Here is my favourite, an excellent piece recently posted by Joanne over at the Transition US site, which focuses on the issue of solidarity.
Solidarity
Earlier this week I did an interview for BBC World Service’s ‘One Planet’ programme, which you can now hear at their website here or download the podcast here. A very enjoyable experience, it is not every day that the BBC buys you soup and pays for it in Totnes Pounds!
…which according to my trusty Babelfish means “The Transition Towns movement – cities and humans in the change”, or something. Anyway, here’s a great short film for German speakers out there, featuring Brixton, Totnes and a Transition Training somewhere… but sufficiently understandable to be a very interesting way for non-German speakers to pass 8 minutes. Congratulations also to Transition Town Lewes for making the Independent on Sunday magazine this weekend.
We haven’t done one of these for a while, so here, thanks to the marvel that is Google Alerts, is a taste of some of things underway out there in Transition-land. For more regular and formal updates you can subscribe to Transition Network News, but these irregular digests offer a more informal and random insight into what you are up to. Congratulations to Transition Horncastle for being selected to compete in the British Gas Green Streets project, which could win them £100,000 to spend on a local environmental project if they are the best at achieving the Green Streets project’s objectives. And well done TT West Kirby for being awarded funds for their Youth Inclusion Project. Congratulations also to TT Kingston for their Green Guardian award and TN’s Shaun Chamberlin’s Green Champion award, both sponsored by the Kingston Guardian newspaper and the local council.
