Launching … Transition Town Totnes!
**Transition Town Totnes – Programme September – December 2006.**
We are delighted to announce the programme of events for the first 4 months of the Transition Town Totnes initiative. The project will develop, over the next 12 – 18 months, an Energy Descent Action Plan for Totnes, designing a positive way down from the oil peak, building on the work begun in Kinsale. It will strive to be inclusive, imaginative, practical and fun. We have put together a programme which combines inspirational speakers, many of whom will be visiting Totnes for the first time, film screenings, Open Space think tank days and much more.

Anyway, my time away has given me plenty of blogging material, which I shall gradually work through in the coming weeks, which will include notes from the ASPO conference, interesting things from the Big Green Gathering, a new Meg Wheatley interview and various other bits and bobs. I wanted to start my reflections on the ASPO conference with my thoughts on the two very distinct paradigms in evidence there.

Gore’s talk was called “Earth in the Balance Sheet” and was attended by over 500 people. While not profoundly illuminating, his answers are still insightful, and show at least that he is conversant with peak oil and sees it as being as important as climate change

Steve Bell on the new Energy Review.
Spot on as ever, Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell has offered his warped take on the Government’s re-affirmation of a role of the nuclear industry. One of the greatest cartoonists of modern times, his cartoons of Norman Tebbitt in the 1980s mean that still, seeing the real Norman Tebbitt sends shivers up my spine.
