Transition Towns, Permaculture and Other Interesting Things Part 2

This is part 2, for part 1 click here

We had a brilliant pre-recorded interview with two Transition Town Champions, Michelle Fisher and Donna Livermore, in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne for our show last Saturday.

It was a fun, fast paced conversation about Transition Towns, Permaculture, Energy Descent, Community Development, Local Exchange Trading Schemes (LETS) and more.

Grab a cuppa, sit back and join in the fun that was
