TRANSITION TOWN LETCHWORTH

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.

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?

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?

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......
