This is stupid the town is dying business wise because everywhere is starting to close. Cofee 1# is there instead which is a company owned by costa which means they still won and there’s a million cafes in totnes who cares about one more place to get a coffee

There is now.

J’ai une question pour vous. Pourquoi notre système économique n’est-il pas humaniste ? Pourquoi accepte-t-on les règles émissent par les banques ? Nous savons tous et depuis fort trop longtemps que la domination des banques sur notre économie est malsaine et nocive. Si nous voulons que notre avenir soit de meilleur augure, la première chose à faire ne serait-elle pas de reprendre le contrôle de notre économie? Le contrôle sur la création de l’argent et sur le choix des investissements par exemple ? Le besoin d’un système plus juste est devenu vital pour la plupart d’entre nous. Les décisions liées à l’économie qui nous impact tous doivent être prises dans et par un système démocratique. Mise à part le fait que nous acceptons cette situation, il n’y a pas de raison valable pour que cela ne puisse changer. Des banques privées prennent en otage notre argent durement gagné. Les banques ne créent rien, rien du tout ! Elles se gavent sur nos efforts et en même temps nous appauvrissent (wtf!). Grâce aux lois, l’État belge au nom du plus grand nombre d’entre nous doit reprendre le pouvoir aux banques et faire de l’économie un outil pour servir la stabilité, la sécurité et le bien-être de tous les citoyens. La France est le pays ou a eu lieu la révolution des droits de l’homme en 1789, on s’en rappel encore ! Pourquoi la Belgique ne serait-elle pas le pays de la révolution du système bancaire ! Ça sonne pas trop mal ! Ça vous dis pas une petite révolution au calme ? Ça pourrait être pas mal stylé ! Arrêtons d’être des cons, prouvons-nous que nous existons, que nous avons raison d’avoir de l’espoir et du coeur. Prouvons-nous qu’ensemble nous pouvons encore arriver à changer et améliorer notre société. Nous sommes les seuls à pouvoir nous libérer de l'idée que le système est une fatalité. Les règles du jeu ne sont pas bonnes.. changeons les règles ! C’est aussi simple que ça, mais il faut le vouloir !

Quality :) I initially read about Totnes as the first transitional town in Naomi Klein's, 'This changes everything'. I couldn't help but have a search,. Seeing what y'all have been doing, well, praise to you! You've made me immediately wish to visit Totnes.

Where’s Tony now?!

Now more than ever, we need an alternative medium of exchange. Here in North West Scotland, people don't spend their money locally, and there's no real local economy, people just buy everything form Amazon. If we want real solutions, we are going to have to do it without government, because it is government that is behind the economic problems, and the rise of the corporate elites. The last thing we want to be doing is paying taxes. :D

environmental management at plymouth can suck my schlong

Que canciones?

Just finished reading The Transition Handbook and kept wondering what had happened to the Totnes Pound. Hearing this it makes perfect sense why it's come to an end. Sad though.

why not move this wonderful initiative online??? shouldn't be all that difficult.....hmmmm

As much as am extremely reticent to be a 'nay sayer' to what was effectively one of the most viable realistic solutions to the 'parasitic corporate('deep state') stranglehold' that was and more & more destructively 'IS' encroaching uninvited into our lives., despite proffering 'constant unfailing optimism' toward It producing 'unmitigating success' over the years from It's inception until now., must reluctantly admit It WAS; "Doomed to failure from the very beginning"!!... ..It's 'promise' deemed It's 'inevitable failure'.., simply because., amongst many other interconnected, relevant factors., It redirected 'far too much institutionalising power & control' away from the 'PT(S)B' ("Paedo'[scum] That Sacrifice Babies".. Sorry!.. I mean "Powers That (Shouldn't) Be"... Or "Do I"!!??!!.) back to 'The People & Their Community where It Belonged', definitively restricting & reducing their innate ability to "endemically steal(and 'live off') from our 'sweat & toil'!..".. ..Thus.., as with virtually every 'feasible "egalitarian" proposition/solution., It was most likely 'seeded', from It's initial conception, with "agent provocateurs" to 'spread disinformation' and generally 'dilute & obfuscate It's primary message' & 'compromise It's socially reconstructing objectives'.., as., the psychotic, satanic, 'controllers'(and I intimate 'that' with 'my tongue firmly in cheek'!..) are far too 'pathologically insecure' to relinquish even the minutest modicum from their inevitable goal of "Total control where 'we'(a much reduced 'population of us') are mere 'enslaved chattel'!!..".. So.. Despite the above., and the undeniable requisite that; "We HAVE been Lied To about EVERYTHING"!!... I still remain optimistic that.. Alongside the current social 'mass reawakening'.. The 'Real Power Will Always Reside With US'!!.. It's 'Our' realm., and we ARE 'Having It Back'!!... Peace & GOD(but Not 'religion') Bless(wi TEETH!!...)

I hope TTT is not going to be involved with the Soros /Saul Allinsky inspired citizens assemblies which bring people in from outside to guide change in alignment with Agenda 21/30 to limit freedoms.

Totnes is a wonderful town and we all need to take care of the earth. TTT does some wonderful work. However part of the TTT work (related to a "climate crisis") is funded by criminal George Soros via a foundation based in Portugal. Read the Report from Iron Mountain or watch the video on you tube.

farwell to the best currency in the UK Will be missed

So sad... The whole world was hoping it would serve as a model...

This is a shame. Is there any chance of a prepaid Totnes debit card?

Hmm councils don't like sharing their power. British government institutions are a blight.

well that's 6 minutes I'm never getting back

This is amazing!! Me and my partner are thinking of moving to Totnes.. :-)

Yes agreed - and thank you for sharing

Bio-fuels. Plant-based fuels will be the replacement for oil. He doesn't seem to have faith that they will deliver. Heinberg, and others, speak of a "finite planet." That is true as far as that goes. Many years ago, I heard a speaker whose subject was "The Limits to Growth." He said that there is one factor that none of these "thinkers" wanted to face. That would be the expansion of humanity into space. We live on a finite planet that is swimming in a sea of near-infinite energy. The American space program has received much criticism. Be that as it may. The Chinese, the Russians, Japan, the ESU, all have extensive plans to explore the Solar System. There is also private enterprise. Richard Branson, Elon Musk, James Cameron (Yes, that James Cameron.), have all invested heavily into the commercialization of space. With Heinberg, as right as he might be, it just seems to be the blueprint for a new feudalism. This would of course be supported by a new kind of puritanism. The scenario he lays out is perfect for control of the population. Regarding space exploration, it is already happening, regardless of policy. Stopping it would be a task that would require a massive amount of force. Anybody up to that? I think not. Finally, the end of growth means the the stagnation of the human spirit.

What a great idea and to stick together and help.one another. .now thats love.!!!

Sadly the petition misrepresented the numbers of townspeople against Costa's plans. It alleged, and this was reported by the BBC, that in excess of 80% of the population of Totnes signed the petition. On investigation however, it was subsequently found that after the signatures of holidaymakers to the town had been excluded, the number of signatures given by townspeople, actually stood closer to 25%. The remainder appear to belong to residents of the 'Greater Totnes' area which includes South Brent, Ivybridge, Kingsbridge etc. I may have missed it but I'm sure that there hasn't been a retraction by the BBC or anyone promoting the petition.

Good points but could have being better delivered.

Fuck me, bet they ain't got tenner between them

Typical short sited view from the Totnes Mafia

I live in Totnes, and I remember hearing hearing a lot about this and it's just as well for their sake that it was agreed not to have a "Costa" in the town! I am pleased that Totnes had won!

Excellent comment. Just one thing, though -- it was Western civilization that started the whole industrial revolution thing. The rest of humanity, including Asia, originally didn't know anything about this whole industrial thing or didn't want to adopt it; it was the West that compelled them to. Let's give credit where it's due. Thank you.

Just think they could have created jobs for the unemployed.....

I want to figure out how to show this on my street. <3 <3 <3

@Far Ali, you raise some reasonable questions, all of which are addressed explicitly in Heinberg's book. I encourage you, as well as any other interested party, to read it. It is very well organized and sourced.

NK's analysis is ok, but we are plainly losing; we including NK, greens, and the Left generally can't overcome the Goliath oil & gas lobby.

I cannot hear any voice in here. Once you fix it please let me know so I can listen to this. Thx !

From a pure engineering/physics standpoint, it's such a simple concept.. our entire economy is based on cheap & abundant fossil fuel, which took 200 million years to accumulate. - Fossil fuel is 200 million years of stored solar energy, and our insane/psychotic society will consume it in a 150 years. - It is physically impossible to run any kind of industrial society on so-call "renewables"; renewables have very low energy density, and require fossil fuel to grow & process.

great reminder of a GREAT day in totnes- def time to make the weekends car free, if not all week :)

Despite its inefficiency, if renewable fuels were produced in high enough concentrations it could potentially replace traditional fuel. There are a few things that need to be sorted out. One of the main problems is that we don't have very long lasting reliable batteries. So electricity from renewables will need to be used to continue to produces gases like hydrogen in order to run traditional engines.

How does a dependancy on renewable energies reduce economic growth? Heinberg seems to intimate that it does and I beg to differ on this point. It does not follow logically according to standard economic theory. GDP is a measure of output, and possibly economic growth, so low fuel prices might contribute to that. But its not necessarily the case that high fuel prices decrease economic growth, if other factors change like energy efficiency and energy conservation.

Since the economy is an open system we have little idea about the kind of productivity we can expect from the new paradigm shift and the new economy. Just because fossil fuels run out does not mean the end of power as we know it. Heinberg has already presented a slew of other sources of renewable energy. Why are renewable energies not used now? Because they are too expensive comparable to fossil fuels. How does a dependancy on renewable energies reduce economic growth?

Granted that oil and wars give the economy huge injections toward economic growth, economic growth does not depend exclusively upon exploitation of natural resources. There are lots of other endogenous factors toward economic growth. This is the beauty of our capitalist system, its designed to find efficiencies in the system naturally. Sure some countries will default, and not be able to make their financial obligations but that does not reflect all countries.

He neglects to recognized the effect of paradigm shifts in the economy. Remember the naysayer Thomas Malthus, he hypothesized that the world would starve because, at the time, food production was linear and population growth was exponential. What happend shortly after that? Farms and other agrarian productivity. Then the industrial revolution. Then the service economy. And now the knowledge economy. Each successive stage gave us greater economic growth than the last.

Glad to be involved. Music by Sid Peacock thanks

I like your sarcasm, josipalisac below probably thinks you're serious.

What? "Closing the barn door after the horse has bolted" Is an American Idiom, haven't you heard of it?

You see the trouble is the public, for the most part, are stupid. Thats why we need big chains to keep them on their toes!

This artificial stimulation of demand has been an enormous contributor to the economic growth of the world, especially since the Whig-Republican cartelization and inflation of the US economy. This process of artificially stimulating demand and growth began with the economic crisis of the 1890s. The financialization, globalization, intensified suburbanization, etc., that we've been seeing since the '70s has been the most extreme actualization of this underlying need to create demand in capitalism

capacity which, ultimately, can't be consumed by the populace owing to collapses in real demand (or misinterpretations of demand, which is a more complicated issue dealing with competing theories of value) or owing to social inequalities that limit popular purchasing power. So, since the upper class must accumulate and have more consumed to make past accumulation and production profitable, they must artificially stimulate demand, and therefore supply.

Industrialism and the modern economy are certainly entirely contingent upon continued economic and productive growth and the continuation of the extraction of fossil fuels. I think it's a bit parochial to attribute this explosion in demand that we've been seeing since the mid-1800s to fossil fuels, though. Part of the reason why we've had this explosion in economic growth is because of the capitalist crisis of overproduction, which is the tendency for capitalism to build up tremendous productive

Terrific to see this progress
