Scaling up Transition - Accelerate Aotearoa anyone?
Submitted by James Samuel on 9 January 2014 - 7:36am | updated 09 Jan 2014 | Blog entryI innocently pressed play on this video on Tuesday night and did not expect what followed. This 30 minute video is in Rob's words "his favourite talk" from the recent trip he did to the US, after breaking his vow not to travel by plane.
This is by far the most impactful, energising, inspiring video I've seen in some time. It's meaningful, thoughtful, humorous, delightful and real.
Here's the link to the thoughtful article which summarises the ideas.
www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/rob-hopkins/2014-01/5-factors-will-enable-transition-scale
Rob is suggesting five factors to help the Transition movement scale up in a way that's proportionate to the challenges of our time. They are:
- Create a learning network
- Support and resource core groups
- Bring forward investment for Transition enterprises
- Become better storytellers
- Build an evidence base
He explains these beautifully in his article.

If this trailer is indicative of the film, it looks to be an inspiring one!
What a delight to see so many images from Lyttelton woven through it.
‘We May Have to Adapt Very Quickly': Reflections on Transition Towns and Collapse
Submitted by seemorerocks on 12 July 2011 - 6:26pm | Blog entryIn recent weeks and months I have had to re-evaluate things.
I have had to re-evaluate the way in which I live my life and how I use my energy; - what is most important for me.
I have also had to re-evaluate my ideas, which may be characterised as liberal and left-wing.
I have had to recognise that most of these ideas that I have cherished throughout my life have become rendered as redundant as capitalism. » Read more
Taranaki Daily News - Making a Post Oil Transition
Submitted by xxancroft on 23 June 2011 - 9:30am | StoryTaranaki Daily News article on Transition Towns
Good effort by David Turner
Transition town advocate David Turner says that future is close and plans need to be put in place now. The Okato-based Brit says that when he was growing up in Britain in the 1980s, he heard of an oil crisis and how it would affect "our children".
"We are the children they were talking about, and we will be around to see this - we will be here in 20 years," the 45-year-old says.

Rob Hopkins on Transition Towns at TED
Submitted by James Samuel on 26 November 2009 - 5:33am | updated 26 Nov 2009 | Blog entryOver the last few days I have been posting a number of videos on the subject of money. The financial implosion is almost certainly directly related to the state of our global energy reserves. Since Transition Towns look the energy issue and its related Climate issue squarely in the eye, I thought it was time to hear from Rob Hopkins about how people in communities all over the world are responding, to these very real challenges of the day.
