TRANSITION TOWN LETCHWORTH
About Us
Meet a member....
Who are you?
A busy person - teacher, musician and mummy.
Why are you involved in TTL?
Actually I'm not really a 'shout it from the rooftops' green campaigning type at all. My husband suggested I go with him to a TTL meeting and I got seduced by the community building aspect of Transition Towns. I think we can solve a lot of things if we know who our neighbours are.
TTL is a group that is part of the worldwide Transition Network and seeks to tackle the twin
challenges of climate change and peak oil locally.
Climate Change
The world - its temperature, its sea-level, its deserts, its weather - is changing. Can we slow the process down or even reverse it by changing our behaviour?
Peak Oil
Oil will never be as readily available again. We haven't run out but it is going to become harder and harder to source. We are completely dependent on this increasingly endangered commodity...... Can we become resilient to an impending oil drought?
Transition
How did you get involved?
As my husband's pregnant side-kick. It is now taking over my life!
What have you got out of it so far?
Friends, potatoes, an enormous sense of satisfaction, and a heightened understanding of how the future is going to be very different.
The 'Transition' model asks communities to find a solution locally. Can we protect ourself against an oil shortage by creating local networks, setting up car pools, adapting our housing, affecting local authority decisions etc etc? We hope so......
