You may not be regular readers of the Sunday Mirror, but last Sunday, BBC presenter and author John Humphreys wrote, in what I presume is a regular column, a piece about peak oil and Transition Initiatives. It actually came out rather well I thought… anyway, here it is.
**Don’t Be Fuelled. Sunday Mirror. 25th November 2007.**
“A few days ago I had the unpleasant experience of filling my car with petrol.
Last week was very busy. On Wednesday night I was in Exeter to give a talk for Low Carbon Exeter, as part of their season of talks. I was met at the station by Andi Tobe and we were ferried in a Cycles Maximus pedal powered rickshaw to the venue. It was an amazing way to travel, although I did feel rather guilty just sitting there while we were pedalled along. The talk went well, over 100 people in a big church, and some excellent questions. The next day I was up at 5am. and off to London for the Be The Change conference at the Westminster Hall.
Transition Bristol have asked me to post the following which is an update to my recent post about the event. The Big Event takes place this Sunday (25th November 9:30am to 6pm) at the Council House, College Green, Bristol. Speakers include Jeremy Leggett, Richard Heinberg, David Strahan, Chris Johnstone and myself. It is possibly the biggest Peak Oil/Climate Change/Transition event yet to happen in the UK, and will be a day not to be missed. See you there. The update runs as follows;
Not too many posts over the last few days as I have been travelling a lot giving talks (Low Carbon Exeter, Be The Change, Environment Kernow) and being flat out trying to finish the book. At the moment I am wrestling with cover designs for **The Transition Handbook**, and am always on the lookout for graphics that convey the idea of Transition. It was with some surprise therefore that yesterday, while visiting google.co.uk I spotted the graphic to the right. They often customise their logo for different occasions, events or anniversaries, yesterday’s looked rather like it was to celebrate Transition Google (whatever that might look like…). The other one I saw recently was produced by Transition Brighton and Hove, and is a very funky take on Transition (see below).
What follows is an article from the Western Mail newspaper by Christina Zaba which looks at how the Transition concept is spreading across Wales. It shows how much was initiated by the talk in Lampeter a few months ago, and how since then the idea has begun to spread all over the country. This Saturday sees the first coming together of Transition Initiatives from across Wales to explore the need for a **Transition Wales Network**. The event is a 11am, Saturday 17th November at the Royal Welsh Showgrounds, Builth Wells. If you are interested in going, contact martin(at)mfitton.wanadoo.co.uk. More detail on this event can be found below Christina’s article.
