Transition Towns

For the last 5 or 6 years, a grassroots network which started in Kinsale, Ireland and Totness, England, has been quickly spreading around the world.

The aim of Transition Towns is to use Permaculture and systems based methods, to effectively create sustainable communities which will carry the planet beyond the advent of peak oil.  Or, as Richard Heinberg would say, Peak Everything!

There are two key areas for which the local groups work to create and / or encourage the use of sustainable alternatives: food and energy production.

As gardeners, horticulturalists, agriculturalists... or just those who are concerned with what the future holds and want to ensure that it will be a positive one, I would urge you all to get involved.

Check here for details of your local group.
