Quotes from people in Transition Exeter…

It’s exciting to see how just a little effort can make big changes.

For me, the main thing about Transition is the emphasis on hope.  Climate change and peak oil are really big concepts, but Transition brings them down to the local scale and helps us realise that we can do something about them.

There is so much that is positive about the kinds of changes that we need to make – more locally produced, high quality food, lower energy bills, stronger communities.

I’ve gone from feeling depressed and overwhelmed by the size of the challenges we face, to having an incredible sense of purpose and optimism.

I want to feel as though I’ve made a difference.
