“The Transition Handbook, from Oil Dependency to Local Resilience” by Rob Hopkins is a book that is creating a stir in this country, the UK, and Europe. The Belfast Co-op and Belfast Free Library are teaming up to offer a Community Book Discussion series around this book, to begin in February 2010.
The series will kick off on January 26 at 6:30 pm with a short introduction of the Transition Culture concept by Jim Merkel & Susan Cutting (who have attended Transition Culture Trainings) and the showing of the documentary film “Kilowatt Ours: a Plan to Re-Energize America” at the Belfast Free Library.
