What's it all about?

[Transition Kensal to Kilburn]

The Transition Towns movement began as a grassroots attempt by communities to work out for themselves how to address the twin problems of climate change and the end of cheap oil. Transitioners believe that life will be better – more local, more in touch with nature, more vibrant, less stressed, less chemical – after oil, and that we will be better prepared to deal with the challenges if we start working together now.
A Transition Town initiative is a group of concerned individuals who use the Transition Model to come up with their own vision of how to make their community more self-sufficient, how to prepare an energy descent plan, and how to acquire or relearn the skills we will need in a world without oil.
