The Transition Towns concept is one of the big ideas of our time. The Transition approach is inspirational, harnessing hope instead of guilt, and optimism instead of fear.  The model involves communities coming together to find ways of dealing with the challenges we face together through the localising of food production, developing renewable energy sources, building with sustainable natural materials, reskilling and enhancing our local economies.
