What is a Transition initiative? It's a grassroots process that helps a community become more resilient, more sustainable, more diverse, stronger, and happier.
Global Transition initiatives have created projects around food, energy, biodiversity, education, housing, waste, arts, and more - local responses to the global challenges of climate change, food sovereignty, biodiversity loss, economic hardship, etc. These small, local responses help show the way forward for governments, big business, and the rest of us.
And what is an Australian Transition initiative? Well, that is what we are about to discover....
Transition Oz is a blog for, by, and about those idealistic and passionate souls who are working to transition Australia to a brighter, more resilient, more sustainable future. It is mainly about sharing our stories, with the hope that together we can create a new "planetary story" for our communities, this unique land, and the planet.

New Film - Passive House: A Building Revolution

Community Solutions, who produced the award winning film "The Power of
Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" has just launched a Kickstarter
Campaign to raise finishing funds for its new documentary "Passive House: a
Building Revolution". The film shows how houses can be designed and built
to use 80-90% less energy than conventional houses.

For details, go to http://tinyurl.com/bgockyp
Less than 30 days are left to find funds.
Transition Town Riddell has pledged $100 and it would be great if other
TTs could donate according to their means to help get this important film
out.

    I have had comment from Su Dennett, as follows:

    Hi Lyn, at the risk of being the party pooper, these houses require
    high embodied energy and are still, as I see it, over the top. In the
    intro they say everyone can do it. I beg to differ. Most of there
    people in the world cannot.
    Also, these buildings ARE highly dependent on fossil fuels, contrary
    to what is stated.
    We really don't need more houses. We need to retrofit the housing
    stock we have and put more people in these houses. This relies on
    learning to live with others - not easy in our society.
