A must-watch TED Talk by Transition Towns founder Rob Hopkins - brilliant, touches on the power of storytelling and cultural myth...and that perhaps we might want to work towards a goal of resilience, the ability to withstand external shocks, which may have more resonance for people than sustainability...
From TED, July 2009
'Rob Hopkins reminds us that the oil our world depends on is steadily running out. He proposes a unique solution to this problem - the Transition response, where we prepare ourselves for life without oil and sacrifice our luxuries to build systems and communities that are completely independent of fossil fuels.'
