Transition Culture has moved
I no longer blog on this site. You can now find me, my general blogs, and the work I am doing researching my forthcoming book on imagination, on my new blog.

Here is a new short film about the Atmos Totnes campaign I am involved in in Totnes. Something light and inspiring for a Friday morning. If you want to find out more about Atmos, visit the website here. I am particularly fond of the ‘Atmos Voices’ interviews.
Here is a second Sneak Peek from ‘In Transition 2.0’. The full film (with subtitles in 16 languages!) is available on DVD here, and it is quite fantastic. Today’s Sneak Peek tells the inspirational story of Transition Monteveglio in Italy, one of my favourite parts of the film. In terms of upcoming screenings, Transition Hythe are showing it on July 4th, the same night it is showing at the Port Philip EcoCentre, Transition Pittsburgh showed it last night, Transition Town Guildford in Australia are showing it on July 8th, An NTSC version of the DVD is now available from Transition US. Please put it on Facebook and send the link to your friends…
Here is a review by Caspar Walsh, from the latest edition of Resurgence magazine, of the film ‘In Transition 2.0’ and of ‘The Transition Companion‘.
This dual review looks at the new documentary from film-maker Emma Goude and the pairing of it with the latest paperback offering from Transition co-founder Rob Hopkins. The Transition movement offers one possible solution to the problems and challenges arising from peak oil and climate change. It does this through a series of initiatives focused on the self-motivated rebuilding and reskilling of communities across the globe. It is an extraordinary worldwide movement giving rise to an ever-growing list of amazing and inspiring grass roots projects. And this latest book and film demonstrate that this 21st-century global phenomenon continues to expand and thrive.
Had great fun the other day doing an interview with Dave Hampton, ‘The Carbon Coach’, for his ‘Watt Next Show’ on Marlow FM. It went out last night, and here it is for your listening pleasure.
Here is Part One:
… and Part Two …
Here is the track that played at the end of Part 1 in case you wondered. Thanks Dave…
In this month’s podcast it’s all about food! We hear about Transition Berkeley’s CropSwaps, Saltash in Transition (aka Saltash Environmental Action)’s edible garden they made just in time for the visit of the Olympic torch and, in the run-up to the 2012 Transition Network conference, from Transition Kentish Town about their new social enterprise supplying vegboxes to local people. The Transition podcast is now available via iTunes. You can even download it and listen to it while you’re jogging or doing Zumba dancing, whatever on earth that is.
