Transition Towns Canberra - Liam Lilly - 2017 - 04 - 07 - slightly Bodgy Sound BTL - a podcast by 2XX Behind the Lines and Align in the Sound teams

The "Transition Towns" movement emerged from the permaculture movement between 2004 and 2006, after permaculture teacher Rob Hopkins scared the hell out of himself and his class on the first day of a very long permaculture course in Kinsale, Ireland by showing a film on peak oil, and having a guest lecture by one of the worlds experts on the subject.
The class set themselves a project for the course: how do we respond to such radical threats?
Over the next few years, the transition towns movement was established, eventually settling with Rob Hopkins in Totnes, England.
It has since spread to many corners of the world, in many diverse forms.

Liam Lilly joins us today to talk about how it has manifested so far in Canberra, Australia.
