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.

Last year’s Soil Association conference was an extraordinary event, one that took its delegates on a powerful journey into peak oil and out the other side. Its insights and developments have informed many of its new projects and initiatives since, and this year’s conference takes the theme deeper, and is entitled “Transition: Food and Farming in 21st century Britain”. Like last year, it looks like an event not to be missed.
The second film that emerged from my dusty archives is a programme called Leargas, an Irish language programme from RTE television. This programme is from 2002, and is called ‘A Gra for Straw’ (Gra is Irish for ‘love’). It offers a fascinating snapshot of the young and emerging green/natural building movement in Ireland then. It also features a somewhat younger and more windswept me co-ordinating a strawbale building project on a windswept hillside in West Cork.

Unfortunately I just heard from Jeremy Leggett that due to urgent commitments, he is unable to participate in today’s Transition Chat…. we will reschedule and let you know. Sorry about that. If you want to meet there and have a chat anyway, do feel free. Next week’s will look at structure and organisation for Transition initiatives.
I was clearing out a cupboard the other day and found a dusty pile of old VHS video cassettes. On closer inspection, it turns out that among various odd bits and bobs, were two old programmes I thought you might find interesting. Thanks to Alex Munslow for uploading them onto YouTube for me. Today’s film appeared on Ireland’s RTE television in July 2005, and was filmed the day before the Fuelling the Future conference.
