The Powerdown Show: Exploring Peak Oil and Climate Change (Video)
The Powerdown Show - Transition Towns and Energy Descent Pathways from Rob Carr on Vimeo.
Powerdown Show Offers Fun Perspectives on Coming ChallengesI am eternally grateful to Rob Hopkins of the Transition Towns movement. Not only has he inspired one of the most important, vibrant and influential social movements of our time - a community led response to peak oil and climate change. But he's saved me a lot of hassle in finding things to write about. In fact, whenever I am stuck for a subject I head over to his blog, Transition Culture, and I never fail to find exciting, inspiring and informative posts about all aspects of saner, more sustainable living. The latest resource he's turned me on to is The Powerdown Show, a series of 20 minute documentaries about all aspects of resource depletion and climate change.
