Here is a rather good film from the good people at Transition Whidbey in the US, letting the world know what they’ve been up to. Fantastic to see places making films like this, do film what you’re doing in this way, document your Transition work for ‘In Transition 2.0′.

Like it or not, we will be facing a future with ever less energy. But what does this “Energy Descent” mean, exactly? And how do we prepare? A key feature of a Transition Initiative is supposed to be an EDAP. But not surprisingly, it turns out that developing an EDAP in a community is a long and complicated process. Michael Brownlee looks at the state of play.

“Nature needs time for growing and sleeping. Wilderness areas where nature can develop in its own calm way. Where only humans who walk, go”. Sir Edmund Hillary

New Zealand is a beautiful and largely unspoilt country. Roughly one-third of it is still forested, three-quarters of that with indigenous species in protected areas. The lakes are clear, the soil fertile, wild plants provide food and medicine—but the flourishing of nature has as much to do with the activism of a small number of people back in the 1970s and 80s as it does with the natural bounty of the land. This film is about ten New Zealanders who are part of that story of working with, and fighting for, nature.
