Rob Hopkins, author of The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience, sums up the Transition Initiative movement that he helped launch in Britain.

The following floor statement was made on August 1 by Vermont Congressman Peter Welch:

The 110th Congress has been focused on rising energy prices, protecting our environment, and finding concrete, long term solutions to climate change. The scientific evidence is clear: global warming is real, it is urgent, and it requires our immediate attention. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the dedicated efforts of Carbon Shredders, a grassroots environmental group based in the Mad River Valley of Vermont.

We met up with these unnamed folks when we were in Bonnaroo-land. They are architects doing the energy conservation design-thing. Yeah!

We found Robin at the Mad River Valley Saturday Farmer's Market. It rained hard and she spoke about how the Valley has really come alive in supporting this initiative. Cool... White Rhino
