It was my huge privilege to hear Albert Bates talk last week. Albert was guest of Transition Town Totnes and, invited as I was by the folks at TTT to record the show for posterity, further distribution and extended listening pleasure, I turned up seeing it as something of a job. I should have known better.

First of all, Albert is a hero's hero; he was there at the request of Rob Hopkins – founding influence of the Transition movement and author of the Transition Handbook (the second edition...

There are many people around who genuinely believe that the only way to get well is to follow a medical doctors advice, although this type of opinion is fast becoming out-of-date.  Unfortunately medical doctors are not trained the self-healing powers of the body and in the fact that drugs often result in more disease and can never result in an actual cure.  I have been in practice for about 10 years and have seen my methods quickly turnaround even more chronic health complaints, such as heart...

In January 2008, a survey carried out by Lighter Life revealed that many British people feel there eating habits are out of control. Almost half of British women and a third of men think their weight is "out of control", according to a poll. And it seems the fatter people are, the less control they feel they have over other aspects of their life. More than half (55%) of the very obese said their finances were also spiraling out of control.




The poll of 995 adults also found that 38% of a...

Joel Salatin, celebrated hero of Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and owner of Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia was featured in the Washington Post last week for his latest local food endeavor – a partnership with the Mexican-style fast-food chain Chipotle. The chain, a former subsidiary of McDonald’s, will begin featuring Polyface Farm’s pork in its “carnitas” burrito at its Charlottesville location, some 45 miles from Salatin’s farm. Now, this may strike some as strange, as the ver...

Who you calling a hippy?

Where are you Clifford?
My partner and I bought a part of an old tobacco plantation in rural North Carolina to convert to an ecofarm. We are planting orchard trees and taking out the lawn and replanting with edible landscaping. We are mixing in flowers and plants that help keep out deer and insects. Last year we lost our blackberries to japanese beetles, a friend suggested planting 4 o'clocks flowers in between the rows. The beetles cannot resist the 4 o'clocks, eat them and die. We had scads of blackberries because they got to leaf out.
We are trying to get to the point where we can run on solar/wind power and fase out fossil fuels. We have already cut our electric usage by about 30% and adding insulation and plugging wire and pipe penetrations in the house, much more to do on that front.
We had to land up here as it was what we could afford, has a decent climate, a deep well, a surface spring, and a creek. 7 acres of woods and almost 2 acres of yard. We are doing our best with what we have to make a difference in the world. Our close neighbors are impressed with our organic veggies and are adopting green tactics too.

Thank you for your response Tom. It sounds as if you have first hand experience and I appreciate this. Perhaps this 'honey' mentioned above was a renegade but the story itself is true nonetheless - obviously I can't vouch for any of the information I read on the internet.
