I venture to say that few Americans have ever seen a Black Swan (Cygnus astratus) and more than a few might assert that, given their inexperience, there is no such thing.
With the publication of Nassim Taleb's classic book of the same name the metaphor has jumped into our common language. (www.fooledbyrandomness.com) As a metaphor its greatest contribution outside of economics may be to the environmental and…

A few days ago I went to Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia to experience the latest Delaware Valley Green Building Council's presentation on the latest green building standards. The presenter, Laura Blau, called it Apples to Apples and did a quick comparison of three of the best of the high-performance building standards now on the market. They were the USGBC's LEED standards[1] They were compared to Passive House[2], and the very stringent Living Building Challenge[3].

There's nothing like taking a decent road trip over a holiday weekend, like Memorial Day, to catch up on some blogging. We went from Bucks County, PA, where gasoline was selling for $3.75 at one local station. We got a $3.79 fillup without going out of our way. That was quite a relief from the $4 plus prices we saw in the previous weeks. It reinforces my attention to energy and climate as key issues.
On the way home, we found gasoline for $3.49 in Waynesboro, Virginia. We had…

FIVER'S FIRST BLOG 3/2/11
It's both a blessing and a curse for the curious to come to know the future. When my Green friend Ed invited me to see the movie Split Estate I attended thinking it would deepen my understanding of peak oil. The blessing was that it did. The curse was that I wasn't expecting how that occurred.
My spiritual practice teaches me not to assume anything. I have found that tenet…

I met you last night in Bethlehem for Jim Kunstler's talk. I sent you a friend request here on Transition.
Look forward to continuing to dialogue around this. We have launched a Sustainable Leadership initiative (see http://SustainableLeadershipForum.org) that is designed to support those involved in sustainability on both a local and a regional basis, whatever they are working on. This is in keeping with Paul Hawken's vision in Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming. Please check it out. We support folks in permaculture and the transition movement as they emerge, along with people working on electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, green business, etc., and have some unique tools and approaches, which we are interested in sharing with others. Let me know if you are interested in having us doing something in your area. Thanks.
I agree, it is a good time to be alive and what I see of the Transition movement is one of the most hopeful signs of a coordinated response to times that are both challenging and ripe with potential.

Don't know if you remember but you contacted me some time ago when we were Relocalization. Happy Birthday.
Since Transition I have been promoting an initiative in Centre County and yesterday named the group, to which I hope to attract some members over the next few days.

Immeasurable beauty lives where wildlife is free...
We are so blessed to experience life
on such a beautiful planet...
Although, blind to her beauty....
industrial giants profit as they destroy
the living whales alive...
and dolphins now swim in their toxic byproducts...
If we do not defend the Living Oceans
from the industrial profiteers,
who will...
For all of time....
and the infinite universe...
we have ONE planet...
How can we be so blind... to so much beauty...
In all the universe...
We have the only Living Oceans...
Maybe you could transition your town to PeaceMinister!
