About

Transition Towns

Transition Towns have been set up around the country to address the twin issues of peak oil and climate change:
  • There is growing evidence that global production of crude oil has peaked and is now declining: in the long run, fuel prices will go up and up.
  • Climate change has the potential to change all of our lives and put millions of people at risk of starvation and flooding, with huge knock-on affects for us here in the UK.

What We Can Do

These two immense challenges have one solution – we need to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels by:
  • Adapting our life styles to reduce energy use, locally as well as nationally and internationally.
  • Encouraging local initiatives so we can decrease our dependency on oil. Sharing gardens to grow food, encouraging cycling, learning new practical skills, home improvements to reduce energy use are just some of the things we can do.

Our Aims

  • Be a network of everyone who has the same goal – it’s not about a central group initiating everything.
  • Facilitate like-minded people coming together to start their own projects and to provide help to others – projects can be part of an existing organisation or something completely new
  • Build on and develop existing skills to make energy reduction a positive thing for the people of Romsey.
