BACKGROUND:

What Is A Transition Initiative?

A Transition Initiative is a community working together to look Peak Oil and Climate Change squarely in the eye and address this BIG question:
"for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?"

Transition Towns create a positive, collective, participatory, creative vision of the future for local communities, focusing on relocalising, resilience and the reduction of carbon emissions. TTs believe a future without oil will be PREFERABLE to the current situation – healthier lifestyles, resilient, creative, collaborative communities, less waste, less pollution and an environment that can sustain us all.

Comment by Oli on September 14, 2009 at 9:03am: On 26 September there's the Wandsworth Community Green Fair (see http://www.wandsworthgreenfair.info/ for details).
The idea is that this is for all groups to get involved in and there is certainly a space for TTT to speak about transitioning.
Does someone have this in hand or is this coming out of the blue?
It would be great if as many Transitioners as possibel could come - it should be interesting and good fun - Paul Ekins, Green luminary and founder of Forum for the Future, will be speaking.

Comment by Nick on November 16, 2008 at 6:00pm: It seems the map (below) has now been opened up to the rest of South London! So, let's get some Tooting stuff up there! There's more written about it here

Comment by Nick on November 11, 2008 at 1:26pm: Green spaces map....
One of the ideas that was floated around at last meeting (I suggested) was to develop a map for everyone to input potential public spaces for growing food.
I looked into it, and Bonnie told me that there is already such a map started by TTB (click here).
So instead of re-inventing the wheel, I suggest we add to this one. Only problem is it would probably have to be re-named?

Comment by ElisabethJ on October 16, 2008 at 8:03pm: Was a visit to applefest in Whitstable going to go ahead this weekend? I was interested in going along but maybe there's not enough interest?

Comment by Bonnie on October 9, 2008 at 10:38am: Perhaps someone from TTTooting would like to sign up to and respond to this blog

Comment by Oli on October 3, 2008 at 2:41pm: I'm new to the group so not really sure what you are up to.
I want to set up a self-help group to put in small-scale energy projects (insulating, draught-proofing, solar hot water etc).
Any interest?

Comment by Wiz on June 12, 2008 at 9:22am: Hi all - the Transition Town Brixton Transport group hasn't really got going yet, however we're having our first meeting next Wednesday (18th) at 7.30pm at 44 Leigham Vale, Streatham. Please come along if you're interested - it would be good to get the TTB and TTT Transport groups working together (once they're both up and running!).

I expect I'll see you all at the naked bike ride protest before that anyway! (How could you turn down the opportunity to both demonstrate AND get naked in public at the same time?! It's too good to be true!...)

Comment by Jonathan Broad on May 21, 2008 at 1:38am: Hi guys, Sorry- I didn't make us all able to put files in our Box- now we should all be able to do that!

The discussions are a good place to talk about our events, let me know what you all think!

Comment by Denny on May 13, 2008 at 11:12am: Hello

I believe the next meeting is on 20th May - have you got the other details - time, venue etc?

Thanks!

Denny
