ARE YOU USING TOO MUCH ENERGY
Dear Lambeth friends,
Apologies if you've received this before. More exciting events. Please pass around your networks
Wednesday 28 May, 7pm, Room 8, Lambeth Town Hall
David Fleming*, one of the foremost forward thinkers of our time, will be giving Transition Town Brixton the first outing of his new thinking in a talk
ENERGY and ANARCHY:
he writes: "If we are going to deal with the energy/climate problem with any success at all, we will have to do it ourselves. And we will need to start by thinking in a completely different way. The market is not the solution; it is part of the problem. The neglected philosophy of anarchism has something to tell us which we need to know."
He will also cover Tradable Energy Quotas (TEQs), his excellent system for equitably achieving our carbon reduction targets, and Nuclear Power. It will be followed by Q&A and discussion. See more of David's work at www.theleaneconomyconnection.net

Saturday and Sunday 21-22 June
Midsummer Permaculture Introductory Weekend
Permaculture is the foundation of Transition thinking, working with Nature to supply our needs whilst enhancing the environment. It has been described as 'Revolution disguised as organic gardening.' It is much more than gardening, being a design philosophy applicable in all spheres of life that will help us meet the challenges of energy descent. It will be a revelation.
The course will be an introduction to the ethics, principles, observation, design techniques, and practical applications in the city. It will visit at least 2 permaculture sites in Brixton. It is led by Graham Burnett and Mark Elder, both permaculture diploma holders and experienced teachers. Visit Graham's website at www.spiralseed.co.uk
The cost is £120 for the whole weekend, 10-5pm both days. Concessions are available. Please email info@transitiontownbrixton.org with Permaculture in the subject box.
Hope to see you.
