Check out the great article about TT Guildford member Tanami in the recent Midland Reporter.

There was discussion at the ‘Fresh’ screening about excess home produce, and what to do with it. Besides giving it away or swapping with others, another option is the ‘honour box system’.

See what works for you, and let us know how you go.

And don’t forget to stop by Helena street for some home-grown veg!

Another Transition Town Guildford initiative

Nicole Foss comes to Guildford!

We’re co-hosting a special event on the 9th of March, with an international guest speaker!

Transition Town Guildford in partnership with Permaculturewest & Ecoburbia are pleased to host Nicole Foss, as part of her Australia and New Zealand tour, “Making Sense of Economic Decline in an Age of Peak Oil”.

After years of writing about peak oil and finance as editor of The Oil Drum, Ms Foss is now co-editor of The Automatic Earth. Ms Foss is academically well qualified, with multiple degrees in biology, neuroscience, psychology, international law, and air and water pollution.

On this tour Nicole will be talking about what’s coming, why it’s coming, what we can do about it and why it’s so vital to act now. Most importantly though, she will prepare people to work with their communities to create a brighter (though lower energy) future.

Nicole has been energizing audiences over East and was interviewed for Life Matters on Radio National

Please come along for an evening of topical information and lively discussion with Nicole at:

St Matthew’s hall, Stirling Square, Guildford 

Friday 9th March

Time: 5:45 for 6 pm start, finishes at 8 pm

Cost: $10 (to cover Nicole’s tour & venue hire)

RSVP: kristylee@permaculturewest.org.au

Nicole is also speaking in Perth, Fremantle and down south, see the Facebook page for further details of her tour

Put it in your diary, we hope you can make it!
