In Transition 1.0: from oil dependence to local resilience, available now!

The title says it all. Sit back and enjoy the latest work from the Transition Towns movement. You can watch in parts via YouTube below, or if you prefer, catch the whole thing in one hit on Vimeo.

‘In Transition’ is the first detailed film about the Transition movement filmed by those that know it best, those who are making it happen on the ground. The Transition movement is about communities around the world responding to peak oil and climate change with creativity, imagination and humour, and setting about rebuilding their local economies and communities. It is positive, solutions focused, viral and fun. – TransitionCulture.org

• Paul,

  The place is the googlemaps linked from this page: http://transitiontowns.org/TransitionNetwork/Mulling

  And if there isn’t an initiative, mebbe you could be on the initiating group and start one up yourself…?

• Paul,

  Colombia, you say? Well, it so happens that you actually do have what may be the very first large transition group in the world in your back yard. It started fourty years before the concept of “transition” was born, yet does pretty much everything that transition is about.

• By the way Ben, is there a transition group in Singapore or Malaysia? My family have been “transiting” late last year and we are pretty excited with the process and journey as we promote our SEED program here in malaysia. Thanks lots to permaculture folks too, am seriously exploring doing the certificate course online.

  cheers
