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......

TTL Domestic Solar Scheme
You may have heard about the Department of Energy & Climate Change's sudden decision to slash the feed in tariff (FITs) incentive scheme for solar PV for all systems fitted after December 12th 2011. Their proposal is to reduce it from 43.3p to 21p per unit of power generated.
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...
Hearts and Minds
Why are you called Hearts and Minds?
We are interested in community building and challenging ours and others' attitudes and lifestyles.
What have you done to date?
We have had a Christmas 'Quality or Quantity' event where we discussed tactics to be more 'transition' in the rush of materialism that grips us in the seasonal period. Some results of the discussion can be found here.
We have also joined the Big Lunch Campaign two years running hosting a community lunch.
We organise walks and meals for TTLers and talks from people who have changed their lifestyles in big (and small) ways. We also feed into other groups' work like the community apple pressing that is coming up, initiated by the Food Group and we are going to lend a hand to the Transition Tots Gardening Project.
What are you planning?
We have lots of ideas and are hoping to run an arts event in the next 6 months.
GET INVOLVED: email ttletchworth@gmail.com with 'Hearts and Minds' in the subject and we'll tell you when our next meeting/event is. You will be very welcome.
