I stumbled across The World’s Next Breath yesterday, and there was an interview with Hide Enomoto from Japan. Hide is the founder of Transition Fujino, passionate Transition advocate in Japan, and all round really lovely guy. This interview offers a fascinating update on how things are going in Japan.

Sometimes there are particular films that really capture the essence of what Transition is all about. Here is one, a beautiful 6 minute piece about the 400 Fruit Trees project in Kilkenny in Ireland. It is so great when people document what they are doing in this way. It is a beautifully relaxed and inspiring start to your day.
Transition Brixton just posted a couple of clips from a recent event they ran about food. The first clip features Rosie Boycott, London’s ‘Food Czar’, speaking about food security for the city.
Here is the latest month’s worth of stories about Transition that you may have missed from across the world’s media. There are some fascinating stories in here. Have a delve and a rummage… think of it as a kind of Transition Lucky Dip. First, and most usefully, there is the May 2009 Transition Network Newsletter, which has links to yet more stories, and you can subscribe to free here. The ‘Who We Are and What We Do‘ document has been translated into Italian (see left)! Well done all. Transition Kirkbymoorside have been making the news, not once but twice. Then there’s the Lewes Pound, which is set to expand, with £1, £5 and £10 notes being issued in July. and is being followed by Stroud, who are about to launch something very similar.
Great excitement greets the news that Transition Forest Row have published their Energy Descent Plan! Transition Forest Row is one of the earliest Transition initiatives to set up in the UK (it held its Unleashing just over a year ago), and a year ago they were awarded a grant from Wealden District Council of £5,000 to create their EDAP. The result is a fascinating combination of storytelling, cartoons, drawings and practical steps to an oil-free 2030. You can buy copies here.
