The China Syndrome
Naresh Giangrande recently visited Taiwan to talk about Transition - a society that lives and breaths money, financial success, and business opportunity. His fascinating report is in two parts. Part One in which Naresh finds himself surprised to be in a very business oriented setting and hear about love and compassion. In Part Two he experiences a typhoon first hand and realises that the job of Transition in Taiwan will be to translate that awareness of climate change (and Peak Oil) into action.

An Update on France
Transition-wise things seem to be moving along very swiftly in France. The “In Transition 1.0” film is now available on Vimeo with embedded subtitles and the Transition Handbook has now been translated into French. There is also a shiny new website for Transition France.

Hawaiian Food Film
A delightful short film about growing food in your backyard from Hawaii.

International Commons Conference report
At the begining of November Gerd Wessling from Transition Germany re-presented the Transition Network to 150 very active participants from 34 countries at a conference in Berlin of the emerging "Commons" movements. Figures such Canadian activist Maude Barlow, as well as many others like Thomas Grecco, a government minister from Ecuador, expressed their support for Transition. It was clear that there is a growing interest in the Transition approach globally.

Ingredients of Transition
The ideas around Transition are constantly being updated and refined as we go along. One of the new ways of seeing and sharing our approach is being described as though it is a Pattern Language. A “pattern” can be described as as just another word for “we’ve seen this problem before” and this is what we did about it. Another word is 'ingredients' and also “A Collection of Ideas and Solutions for Setting Up and Running a Successful Transition Initiative”.

SPEAKERS & TALKSTransition in the House of Commons
Peter Lipman, Chair of Transition Network, and Fiona Ward of Transition Consulting will be speaking to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Peak Oil on Tuesday 9th November at an event called ‘The Transition Movement & Government’, which will consider how the government can best assist the Transition movement in its work. They would love to hear from initiatives with their suggestions for what MP’s and/or government could do to support transition. Any thoughts?
