Transition Towns - Grass Roots MicroGeneration?
October 2, 2008
On Monday night i went along to a meeting in my local village pub aimed at encouraging people to share their ideas and experiences accross a whole range of topics of general interest, including renewable energy.
The group was meeting under the banner of a ‘Transition Towns‘ initiative. I have to confess that prior to the meeting i didn’t know anything about Transition Towns, however as the link explains, it’s a large scale initiative.
The interests were diverse, ranging from permaculture through growing your own veg to microgeneration. What i found refreshing was the thought that meetings like this are most likely going on right accross the country as people try to find out for themselves how they can implement and make the most from these technologies and ideas.
It will be interesting to see how this progresses and I’d be very interested in comments from other ‘transition towns’ groups about their achievements and successes.
