    Nice one, the latest from Richard Heinberg, which I have yet to absorb, is on this issue:

    Things seem to be moving very quickly, after circulating that email above yesterday, I got this immediate response to-day from my local council (they're an entirely new entity, completely re-drawn boundaries and newly elected members/mayor):

    Hello Kim

    Cr ****** is in receipt of your email and as he is Chair of the Environment and Sustainability Committee >he would like to pay you a visit. Could you please call me to arrange a time convenient for you and Cr >***** to meet.

    Anyway, I rang them immediately, and I've arranged to meet him at council offices - plus I know a couple of people with formal qualifications in sustainability (and they've already worked closely with local Government), plus they're very much on the same page as me - so I'm taking them along with me too. I very much hope we can get something going that has all the resources, backing and enthusiasm of a large local authority behind it, that would be awesome . . .

    And strangely enough, I went for a wonderful massage to-day, and Luna (who I see regularly), asked me to pick one of her "Goddess" cards out before we started. I got Lilith . . . a very powerful ally. She was the one Adam traded in for the more compliant Eve . . . ;-)
