Otaki Transition towns finally spawns two groups

Deirdre — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:43:11 +0000

Update Nov 21 2009

We have had pot luck dinners every month in 2009 and really got to know one another. Edible garden tours have just started again and we have had no documentary films shown all the year. As a result we may have new members who don't really know our raison d'etre.

I have been putting out a regular newsletter and we now have over 150 on our mailing list. We have quite close contact with TTKapiti, with some of us attending their Seedy Sundays. My newsletters have often included some information on peak oil stories or climate change issues.

Film Showing Peak Oil Imposed by Nature Otaki

Deirdre — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:48:59 +0000

Film showing of Peak Oil Imposed by Nature is fairly short but always brilliant. Norwegian film with Colin Campbell featuring. Also good because of the financial risk management perspective on peak oil.
