Rob Hopkins' Transition Handbook

[MrEnergyCzar]

The U.S. will have the toughest time creating transition towns because everything is structured to function on cheap oil.....

[JonPaulPrime]

This was an extraordinarily informative video. Thanks to the friend (you know who you are) who sent it to me days ago.

Thanks for the great work. I'm speaking on the future of Sanitation at a Transition expo here in northern California in Sept.

@Eriyah -I'm not sure a lot of people involved in Transition would agree that vegan is critical! Personally I think it depends largely on where you live and what's available. I live in Scotland. Working on the basis that local is better, it'd be nigh impossible for me to live on a local, vegan diet. That's just not what the landscape is good at producing. So I'd rather eat a little local meat, fish, honey, eggs, milk and cheese etc. than depend on tofu, lentils and beans flown in from elsewhere.

Nice work, I applaud you. Just don't forget what global bankers think of your independence and your new local currency. The outstanding interest they feel entitled to will carry heavy penalties and an example will be made of you. Consider yourself lucky if they warn you first. All the mayhem (death squads) we sat around and let happen all over the world is about to come home to us. Massive, independent, political action (revolution) is the way to deal with the root of our problem.

Reading the book at the moment. In the first chapters you sometimes repeat things too often but all in all it is a great work. Can't wait to read on!

[MrEnergyCzar]

Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil".....

[Eriyah]

Please talk about why vegan is critical to this transition.

Thank you Rob and all Transition Initiators!

From a Transition Darebin participant,

now inspired to save local food and transport skills.

[adele19555]

just love what you are doing. wish my town would follow transition initiatives (barrie, ontario, canada)

[dhebold]

Thanks for spearheading this transformative initiative Rob. Its timely and "rather brilliant" in uk tongue. I may be working with mr. alastair lough here in Portland, Maine USA for the local chapter.  Cheers (in US tongue) -Daren

I'm allergic to nuts, this is a terrible scheme!!

Just kidding... this is wonderful (and I'm a pessimist) well done (doing).

[walkingdove]

Great video, Rob. But it bugs me a whole lot that the audio is delayed...

zzzz zzzz zzzzz

[earthnetwork]

This movement is spreading like water that has fallen on top of a mountain. May we become a resilient society and gentle beings on our planet.

[earthbowl]

great ideas !!

wonderful

[scientastic]

Excellent! I am trying to raise awareness in my own community... I hope to eventually help get our community into the transition network!

[69spook]

Wise words. Lets do it!!

[zezt]

I think what you are doing is GREAT!!!

EVERYTHING we all contribute adds up. Even Derrick jenses emphasizes this.

If you just suit back with the attitude of what the fuck. the 'ruling class of men' have won haven't they?? 'Limploser' --you picked the handle dont look at me ;)

[DRDOMINICO]

@zezt onions all the time right now

[LimpLoser]

The problem is a ruling class of men who havent bothered investing in Wind Sun and Sea energy. so. as long as the state is in bed with private business nothing you can do will make a difference.

where are the amazing feats of engineering harnessing the wind? almost non-existant. Our paltry efforts will make little difference.

[4trahasis]

or, instead of wind harvesting, perhaps use less energy?
