> that means restoring ecology, integrating psychology into our communities and making our communities are free so that our basic daily activities don’t require cars, and our food and water are drawn from the area around us

Ae. Rob Hopkins and the
Transition Towns crews had the right idea almost 20 years ago;

"What difference can Transition groups and others doing this work make? It often starts with some small initiative like planting trees or wildflowers, sharing food at a community fridge or bringing people together to talk about the future.

"Often this cascades, as people get to know and trust each other, to see what they can achieve together, and learn from other groups and places what else is possible.

"Transition groups have set up farmers’ markets, community food-growing, waste-food cafes, nature recovery projects, cycling and electric car clubs and community-owned renewable energy generation."

Did things start small in your Transition project? Have they grown in new and unexpected directions??

"Both Transition and green wizardry are based on the ideas that peak oil, and peak various other things too, will lead to a future of economic contraction and declining net energy availability, where the communities that are most successful are those that have most successfully strengthened and refocused their local economies in advance."

Four weeks until polling day - how can this tumultuous time be an opportunity to highlight what matters to your community? And to bring care and compassion into the fray, when elections can quickly become about what divides us?

The Transition movement is not party political - but many issues we are concerned about, well-informed about and building practical solutions around are deeply political with a small ‘p’: food resilience, who produces our energy and who has a say in shaping our local places.

We’ve gathered resources and reflections to help Transition and community groups navigate and engage with the election in our latest blog - from organising a hustings, to engaging with candidates, amplifying seldom-heard voices to other causes to explore.

https://transitiontogether.org.uk/what-to-do-about-the-general-election/

"Ultimately this is not - and should not be - the only time we have power. Of course it matters who is in the House of Commons and what they do there, but it matters too how we empower ourselves and each other to shape the future of our communities.
All year long, Transition groups seek to be places where people can come together and build common ground, focusing on our shared concern, vision and the practical action we can take to make our places better, thriving and fairer for everyone. This work continues long after polling day."

How a small group, looking a scarred landscape, put Lindow Moss on the map and secure the restoration of its peat bog habitat.

A landscape partnership Transition Wilmslow helped form has been awarded £250,000 to do just that - amazing result!

In 2008, Transition Norwich asked could our city feed itself?

Hodmedod, a business focused on bringing the beans back to British kitchens, emerged from this, and is now thriving and working with farmers to grow and sell ancient, novel and humble peas, beans and more.

Co-founder Josiah Meldrum will tell us the story at our next Transition Alive session as we delve deep into the potential of community action - and our Movement - to make real and lasting change.

Free, online, all welcome to join us for Alive to the power of building alternatives, next Tuesday 5 March at 7pm.

Putting justice at the heart of Transition - what does that really mean? How does it show up in our community-level action? What do we need to change to make it happen?

Just Transition Lead Rona Hardie joined us in the autumn and has been exploring these big questions:

“I want to work alongside those engaging in community-led change to see how a Just Transition approach can be so much more than a tickbox exercise. Rather than being a barrier, it’s an opportunity to strengthen and grow our work for transformation. It is an opportunity to hear and embrace the full range of life experiences and needs, so that we can work to transform the inequality and oppression in current ways of doing things into a better, thriving, resilient future for everyone.”
