"Crowdmap is designed and built by the people behind Ushahidi, a platform that was originally built to crowdsource crisis information. As the platform has evolved, so have its uses. Crowdmap allows you to set up your own deployment of Ushahidi without having to install it on your own web server\nUse the power of the crowd to monitor and visualize what went right, and what went wrong, in an election.\nWhether it's a natural disaster, epidemic or political crisis, Crowdmap was built for it.\nCrowdsourcing isn't just for emergencies, you can use it for local knowledge and business too.\n

"Eling Tide Mill\n\nVISIT ONE OF THE ONLY TIDE MILLS IN THE WORLD PRODUCING FLOUR DAILY IN A 900 YEAR OLD TRADITION\n\nEling Tide Mill is a water mill that harnesses the power of the tide to grind wheat into wholemeal flour. \n\nSituated on the edge of Southampton Water beside the renowned New Forest, there has been a mill on the site for over 900 years.\n\nIt was abandoned in the 1940s, but had the good fortune to survive until it was restored between 1975 and 1980, at which time it re-opened as both a working mill, and a museum to this part of our industrial heritage. It is the one of the only fully working and productive tide mill in the United Kingdom producing flour as it had throughout the last Millennium and one of only a handful of mills in the entire world producing flour on a regular basis."

Transition Scilly is a local, community-driven group that aims to help people on Scilly reduce their carbon footprint as a response to the threat of Climate Change, and increase the whole community's resilience as a response to the threat of Peak Oil.. The Transition movement started in Totnes in 2006 and has grown to hundreds of places (villages, towns and cities) across the UK and around the World. It is a movement based on positive change, not traditional campaigning. Transition is based on solutions to problems as a way of looking to a positive future. Peak Oil and Climate Change are both huge threats to human society, in very different ways. Peak Oil forces us to alter our lifestyle of heavy reliance on fossil fuels, and Climate Change is altering the environmental conditions of the entire planet. If both issues are considered separately we won't come up with positive solutions for both problems; if considered together there's a chance we can turn this situation around. This is the difference with Transition.

Over the next few decades, oil and other carbon fuel production will decline, and prices will rocket. We have to make the transition between an oil-fuelled economy to one existing on a fraction of our current usage. The path between the two could be a gradual and well-planned transition towards a different but positive life, or oil shocks, chaos and collapse. The choice is ours. Transition Bath is part of the fast-growing Transition network - communities coming together to plan and implement their own energy descent, helping to tackle climate change as they do it. We aim to help rebuild a localised economy in Bath, to collect and develop traditional and modern skills, and re-establish local resource resilience for the wellbeing of everyone. Local businesses, schools and colleges, families, gardeners, councillors, environmentalists, craftspeople, engineers, health providers oldsters and youngsters … everyone has to make the transition, and everyone can contribute to Transition Bath.

Marsden & Slaithwaite Transition Towns (MASTT) is a community-led initiative which is taking proactive steps to deal with the twin threats of Peak Oil and Climate Change. The reasoning behind MASTT is simply that a community using much less energy and resources than we presently consume could more resilient. Providing it has been properly planned for and designed to be more resilient, more abundant and more pleasurable than the present. Rather than feeling guilty about Climate Change and worrying about the end of cheap oil, let's do something now to make our communities strong, prosperous and great places to live over the coming turbulent years! MASTT strives to be inclusive, imaginative, practical and fun. Want to get involved? Why not join a MASTT project or start a new one? It's fun and easy, you don't have to be an expert, you will meet lots of interesting people, strengthen your community, and learn new skills.

We are a Portobello, Edinburgh based, community run, environmental group. We believe that Portobello can and should re-localise. This means, for example: growing more of our food; generating our own energy; creating a wider range of jobs close to home, finding ways to get to 'zero waste'… We'll all get more out of living here - and help the planet at the same time. Rather than hoping that governments might act in time, we are working now to re-localise, and to help other communities do the same. We believe that the huge wave of communities becoming Transition Towns, Going Carbon Neutral, making Community Buy Outs, kicking out plastic bags or getting more local food bought and sold, are showing that people have had enough of the way we've been doing things - and that there is another way - or lots of them! The huge challenges of Climate Change and Peak Oil have galvanised people into action, and we have huge potential to make a fundamental difference to how we live in a way that government so far has not managed, and individuals on their own often feel is beyond them. We started the process of working towards becoming a Transition Town in 2005, just as our community was celebrating its victory in a long battle against the Superstore. Inspired by Rob Hopkins' description of the work done by his permaculture students in Kinsale, Ireland, we decided that we were ready to follow their example and develop our own Energy Descent Action Plan (EDAP) and to begin to take steps to implement it. We've gone some way towards this; learned a great deal; run several public events; and have two energetic groups (Food and Land Reform) with projects on the go up and running. Clearly there's plenty more to be done, but we feel that we've made a great start, have inspired other communities in our turn, and you are welcome to join us.

What is TBH going to do? TBH aims to bring about changes to our city that mean we both use less energy and are more resilient to future energy shocks. These changes will, at some point, be forced upon us by reduced energy supplies and changed climate conditions, and it will be a much smoother transition to this changed future if we change now rather than in a mad scramble at the last minute. In addition, it is believed that many of the changes we need to make, more localisation, less unnecessary travel, more community interaction, will be a more pleasant way of living than at present. It is our job to demonstrate this to the population of Brighton & Hove. TBH is not really about the coordinating group initiating projects and recruiting help - it's more about people who want to be part of TBH both initiating their own projects, and providing help to others. This could just as well be a project that's part of an existing organisation as something completely new - TBH simply aims to be a network of everyone who has the same goal of energy resilience and reduction. If you have an energy-reducing project that you need help with, if you have a pie-in-the-sky dream and you want to throw ideas around about it with other people, please come to a meeting and tell us, and/or contact the website and let us know about it - requests will go out in the next monthly newsletter that goes out to all our mailing list. In the long term we will be writing and implementing an Energy Descent Action Plan (an example of this here) for Brighton and Hove, in collaboration with the many other groups in the city already doing this kind of work. We have already some preliminary research in this area, the Brighton Peak Oil Report. As soon as the first steps of the Plan become clear - we won't wait until the Plan is perfect - we will be implementing them.

Engaging the community in designing a vibrant low energy future for Falmouth and the surrounding area to face the twin challenges posed by Peak Oil and Climate Change. Please join us and participate in the process. Transition Falmouth is part of a movement addressing the two greatest issues of our time: a changing climate and declining oil production. We are working to develop low energy solutions in all aspects of our lives. Transition Falmouth has set up a number of working groups including food, arts & crafts, transport, health & wellbeing, waste, built environment and economics. We believe solutions will arise from engaging the creativity, imagination and knowledge of people in Falmouth. Our aim is to create active and supportive partnerships between individuals, groups and local government. Help us put Falmouth on the map as a community that engages its collective creativity and genius in building an abundant future.

By: NaturalFreeChoice.com If we want a healthy soilit is good to know itsPH. PH is refers to the indication of alkalinity or acidity of a solution. A soil with good condition has a neutral PH, if it is acidic the nutrients will quickly leach out of the soil, and if it is alkaline it will be difficult for the plant to absorb nutrients. Most of the food crops prefer a neutral PH, but other prefers an acidic or an alkaline soil.
