Mac Crawford, Transition Central Ohio
11:09 minutes (10.21 MB)
Some Columbus residents are part of Transition Central Ohio which is part of the international Transition Network based in the UK.
Mac Crawford and his wife Debbie Crawford spoke w/ about 15 people who were gathered, w/o AC, in the Spore Print Info Shop on W. 5th, to discuss ways to cope w/ peak oil.
Crawford, Clinical Assistant Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at OSU, is working on making our local and regional public health systems more ‘resilient.’
People who are part of the international Transition Network seem to use the term ‘resiliency’ frequently in their attempts to bend their minds around how communities may prepare for and adapt to peak oil.
Crawford said the transition movement doesn’t have all the answers.
“It may not even work. We don’t know. Right now, it’s a big experiment. But we do see it as a hopeful way to proceed."
"The only other way to proceed is to either ignore the issues or hope they get better, hope there’s a technical solution, hope that science comes up w/ a new energy source that is non-polluting, so that we can continue this culture the way it’s been going.”
Crawford is not counting on technical solutions to peak oil.
"We need to find a lower energy way to get by and I’m hopeful that we’ll do that. But there’s no guarantee,” Crawford said.

Pearl Market Manager Adam Schroeder
15:33 minutes (14.24 MB)
Two weeks ago Columbus officials told Pearl Market the tents that have been set up Tuesdays and Fridays the past two years on the sidewalks of Gay St and Broad St were in violation of city code.
As management scaled down the size of the market to comply w/ the city, some venders were not able to stay. Here’s what Adam Schroeder said about how that decision was made.
“ We looked at a number of different factors when deciding that--things like attendance; customer demand for the product; how that product may have been represented in the market in terms of the number of bakers, the number of bread venders, the number of jewelers. That kind of thing.
“We looked at sales history, how long they’d been participating in the market, (how well they had been) following the rules. That kind of thing.
"We tried to limit the number of venders we needed to remove. In some cases we went to venders and said, ‘you used to be a two-day-a-week vender, but we can now only have you one day a week, either Tuesdays or Fridays, or nothing.’ And they were happy to have the spot that we were able to offer them.”
Schroeder said he expects city council to resolve the matter, enabling the venders who were let go to be able to return. He also talked about the economic, political, and environmental importance of Pearl Market and other markets like it around Ohio and the nation.
