Local Sustainable Homes - A new title in the Transition series.

Local Sustainable Homes - How to make them happen in your community.

Our homes are a major source of carbon emissions and therefore of global warming. And they are poorly equipped to cope with the problems that climate change and peak oil will bring.

But there is some good news. We don’t need to discover a ‘magic bullet’ or invest billions in new technologies or smart materials to make our homes more sustainable. Everything we need is already here and thousands of individuals, groups and organisations are busy turning their homes into low carbon exemplars and pushing the boundaries to cut carbon emissions far beyond government targets.

A New Zealand Transition Pioneer reflects...

Published on August 23, 2010 by Ben Brangwyn

This little article is an intro (and a bit of a birthday honoring) to an extremely engaging article by James Samuel about the first three years of transition in New Zealand.

James Samuel was the second person from New Zealand ever to contact Transition Network. It was in late Autumn 2007 and we were a fledgling organisation barely moved into our scruffy offices in Totnes. James was initially focused on setting up a transition initiative in his own community of Waiheke Island.

I recall back then being slightly astounded that we were getting interest in transition from that far afield, and that the people contacting us, particularly James, seemed to "get" the ideas and principles so quickly and naturally.

They're at a stage now when they need to ramp up their operation to move beyond beta and into the mainstream.

Here's their partner invitation:

Do you practise a faith? Whether you’re a Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Quaker or practising any other faith, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re in the process of building links with different faith groups and partners.

Plans afoot include a Quaker Transition conference in June 2011 and a Green Muslim event later this year, hopefully leading to a large scale national Green Ramadan Festival in 2011.
