Is there anything like a 'transition town' initiative happening in London?
Starting to feel like a bit of a loony these days focusing so much on these energy / economic issues while everyone around me is ploughing into business-as-usual with the same old attitude.  |

Loved reading through the blog, backwards. Right now, it really captures the essence of someone's life being turned upside down upon discovering depletion.
Welcome to the forum, and keep up your sense of humour!
PS - Long shot - but are you acquainted with Ed Real?

well, there's Trans Towns Brixton as far as I know, but if you don't live there, you can't join in (that's the answer I got when approached their stall in a fair).

Interesting, I guess they're going for the the hyper-localized thing. In the meantime I've joined the North London LETS which looks promising but is all a bit fuddy-duddy at the moment - http://www.nllets.org.uk/ (they're only just migrating a cheque-book system online now)
Still, dedicated people who've already been at it 10 years, we're going to need this kind of thing if all the banks go belly-up. |

By the way, I've started doing talks on Petrocollapse / Climate Change etc. if anyone's interested... It's a heavy subject so to avoid eyes glazing over / slit wrists I'm taking a comedy angle on it with my next one. (Probably Sat 24th Jan in Mayfair, London.)
Info on the last talk on my blog here:

pm me your email if interested, I can add you to my mailing list for next time. |
