Transition Exeter is a local response to two huge global challenges: Climate Change and Peak Oil
We are a group of local people who want to:
- Increase the quality of life in Exeter, aiming for a healthier, happier and more empowered community
- Reduce our negative impacts on the environment, both locally and further afield, and respect environmental limits
- Reduce the negative impacts on us of climate change and peak oil – for example escalating fuel prices and flooding – through increasing our resilience within a changing world.
Transition Exeter exists to encourage and support actions which work towards:
- Energy efficiency, renewable energy and reduced dependence on fossil fuels
- Sustainable forms of transport
- Development of a sustainable economy
- Local production of food and other goods and services
- Reduction of consumption and waste
- Community building and mutual support
- Adapting to the negative impacts that we already expect will come our way
