Where the danger grows, there also grows the saving power. – From ‘Patmos’ (1803) by Friedrich HölderlinThe fad in recent years for largely virtual ‘communities’ of interest across the world is an artefact of a temporary moment in human history, a moment wherein elevated technological progress coincided with a lack of substantial blowback from the waste products of that ‘progress’. That moment is coming to an end, most obviously through the rapidly rising tide of climate disasters.

2 1/1 Something very beautiful and unexpected happened to me the other day. I had the chance to wear a unique garment that has been visiting East Anglia. This cloak is called ‘the coat of hopes’. It consists of a large long blanket onto which thousands of people have sewn patches representing what they hope for in the face of the climate- and ecological- menace we face.

I will never again watch The Traitors - or any more reality shows (Image: Cody Burridge/BBC/Studio Lambert/PA Wire) The third series of the BBC’s hit series The Traitors ended recently. You’ve probably already forgotten about it. I certainly had, until I came across a news story about…the FOURTH series of The Traitors, which is already being planned. And then I knew that I had to write this column.

Ed. note: This post is excerpted from Chapter 3 of the book Transformative Adaptation, written by Rupert Read and Morgan Phillips, with Manda Scott, and published by Permanent Publications. Extinction Rebellion (XR) has done fantastic work moving the dial on the ecological emergency. Meanwhile, the Transition Towns movement, regenerative agriculture and permaculture have long been working on the ground to seek the changes we need, bottom-up. Is there a way to bring these two approaches together?

⚽ I visited Brentford Football Club at the weekend and saw the 4-2 win against Brighton. Brentford were my home side growing up (although back then they were in the Fourth Division rather than the Premier League). They are also sustainability leaders in the footy world. Read https://t.co/ClZ7ApQVgB
