About Us
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
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......

This has left the industry reeling and if it goes ahead, it is likely to effect the viability of both our domestic and community solar scheme proposals. Read more...
NEW PROGRAMME for early 2012: see below or download it from here
Welcome to our talk/film evenings, with tea/coffee & friendly discussion about the issues raised. Admission is free (but a suggested £3 donation helps to cover costs).
We like positive messages, to encourage transition to a "low-carbon" future.
What would you like to explore? - let us know and we'll see whether we can arrange it!
