Its been two weeks since we started uploading movies we had recently recorded onto YouTube and the response has been very positive. The Richard Heinberg talk from Orewa now has about 750 views after two weeks. This is pleasing as there were only about 150 at the original talk. The message is getting out there.

The Transition Town workshop from the EcoShow in Taupo is discussed this week on Rob Hopkins Transtion Culture website lifting the profile of these movies significantly. Here is what Rob had to say.

James Samuel and Richard Heinberg on Transition New Zealand.

I wrote the other day about the rapid spread of the Transition concept in New Zealand, and it still continues apace. There are now 34 ‘Mullers’ in the country, which have been springing up in the wake of a tour of the country by Richard Heinberg. Now on YouTube you can see James Samuel, one of the key drivers behind the emerging movement there, giving a workshop with Richard Heinberg at the EcoShow in Taupo.

Part One
is James’s overview of the Transition concept and how it might translate to New Zealand. It is fascinating to see how the Transition concept is communicated in different places and in different contexts, and also to see how people are making use of the wonderful thing that is YouTube to communicate their work and their ideas.
