The Ecologist
“The Ecologist has been a really innovative and well-respected publication for very nearly half a century. it was founded in 1970 by ted Goldsmith and was the first publication in the UK to focus entirely on the environment.” Brendan Monatague, Editor
“…it’s incumbent on us as a community to develop our own media and to be very clear about whose interests it serves and how it serves those interests…” Read the Off Grid interview with Brendan here. Brendan Montague will be leading a debate at Off Grid 2018 around the role of independent media.
The Biophilia Project has hosted Off Grid Festival in 2016 and 2017. Biophilia Project founder and land custodian John Yates also contributed by hosting a series of two sessions as part of the Barn Programme. These were lively debates on the bigger picture of global hierarchy, money and power; offering ideas into the future of this unique project and discussing how you can get involved.
We partnered with The REconomy Centre. The centre in Totnes is a co-working and meeting space in Totnes, home to the REconomy Project, an initiative of Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes. The Centre and Project aim to bring forth a new economic system based on resilient local economies. Active programmes include the Local Entrepreneur Forums and Local Economic Blueprints.
