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.

I wrote a while ago about the wonderful event that was the Unleashing of Transition Malvern Hills. I mentioned that at the event they showed a 20 minute film, drawing together some of the different work underway in the area. That film is now online, and you can watch it below….

A radical new law
In October 2007 a new law was created. This new law has, for the first time, set up a ‘bottom-up’ process where local people can drive central government action to protect or create truly localised and sustainable communities. It establishes the right for local people and councils to submit proposals for government action. Government is then required not just to consult, but to try to reach agreement on the implementation of those proposals.
Here’s another review of ‘Localisation and Resilience’, this time from the latest edition of Permaculture Magazine:
It’s nearly three years since I received a copy of The Transition Handbook and was inspired to become involved in the movement. Much has happened since then both in terms of the way Transition has developed and in the wider world of global economics and environmental concerns. So it was with great interest that I read Rob Hopkins’ PhD thesis (progenitor of the Transition model).
