The essence of Transition is in its name.  It describes the era of change we are all living in.  The Transition idea is about us all being an active part of that change.

As a starting place, Transition focusses on oil.  Transition acknowledges that our current dependence on oil leaves us very vulnerable.  Transition explores and develops ways we can change from our energy-hungry ways of living that are utterly dependent on oil, to ways of living that are significantly less so.  

In reality Transition is about a lot more than that.  It is about people taking a greater interest in their present and future needs; being more aware of the world in which they live; thinking about the way they really want to live, and getting stuck in to make that happen, in whatever ways work for them.

Want more?  Change?  What change?    How does it work?      Going global

Transition Town Totnes (TTT) exists for the people of Totnes and District to help create thriving, healthy, caring local communities where people's ways of life take into account the needs of future generations as well as the present ones.  Rising fuel prices, economic uncertainty and climate change bring many challenges.  However, TTT focuses on these as opportunities to increase personal and community well being, to expand our local economy, and to find ways of living that are in line with our Earth's natural systems.
