A Spring Equinox episode to inspire new beginnings and plant seeds of change... Rob Hopkins is the co-founder of Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, and author of The Transition Handbook, The Transition Companion, The Power of Just Doing Stuff, 21 Stories of Transition and most recently ‘From What Is to What If: unleashing the power of imagination to create the future we want’.  He is an Ashoka Fellow, has spoken at TED Global and at several TEDx events, and appeared in the French film phenomenon ‘Demain‘.  He is a keen gardener, a founder of the New Lion Brewery in Totnes (an example of 'REconomy'), and a director of Totnes Community Development Society, the group behind Atmos Totnes, an ambitious, community-led development project.  Rob hosts the podcast ‘From What If to What Next‘, inviting imaginative thinkers to travel in a time machine to 2030 and create a visceral, tangible, innovative sense of a greener, more integrated future, where he champions collective imagination.  

Rob shows us that rapid, radical and resilient change can happen. It is possible and here are some ideas, solutions and ways to create a greener future joyfully.
