In this episode I am delighted to be sharing with you a conversation with Rob Hopkins, champion of the collective imagination, author of 'From What is to What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want' and co-founder of the Transition Town Movement that emerged out of an extended permaculture design course he was teaching in Ireland.
His other books include: The Power of Just Doing Stuff: How Local Action can Change the World (2013) The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience (2008) The Transition Companion: Making Your Community More Resilient in Uncertain Times (2013)
I caught up with Rob in his home town of Totnes last year - nearby to Schumacher College where he is a regular contributor. We recorded this interview in the Transition Town Totnes office. He is one of the most ethical and interesting thinkers I know with a grounding in permaculture too. It's no wonder he was voted one of the Independent's top 100 environmentalists and the Observer's list of Britains 50 New Radicals.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Rob, check out his podcast too, From What is to What If and follow him on Twitter.
