global challenges,  local solutions

The world is facing the serious challenges of climate change, depleting resources, and economic insecurity. In particular, the end of cheap oil is going to impact on our lives, whether we like it or not. We could wait for governments to do something, but we believe it is up to local communities to start taking action now.  

so  what  can  we  do  about  it?

_We are a group of local people and we are also part of a global Transition Town movement in which communities are taking their own steps towards a more sustainable future.  We are working together locally to become better prepared for, and more resilient to, the transitions we will need to face. At the same time we get to live in a simpler, greener way, having fun and getting to know our neighbours.
