The Transition Movement

The Transition Town movement is closely associated with Totnes, here's an Open University video about Transition Totnes.

“Totnes: taking change into their own hands”.

“Brixton: Transitioning to a low-carbon economy”.


The Transition movement is growing. Here in their own words is another video:
‘In Transition’ is the first detailed film about the Transition movement filmed by those that know it best, those who are making it happen on the ground. The Transition movement is about communities around the world responding to peak oil and climate change with creativity, imagination and humour, setting about rebuilding their local economies and communities. It is positive, solutions focused, viral and fun.
Here's an interesting example of a local Transition Group at work in Tooting, in London. The video says it all but it's an interesting example of local people encouraging local food production.

The outcome of the recent conference in Copenhagen shows how difficult it is for big governments to move on this important issue. Local groups could be more effective in leading the changes needed. It makes sense to be more self sufficient?
