‘Transition’ is used as a shorthand way of describing the transition that we need make – individually, and as a society – from our current unsustainable ways of living, to ways of living that enable us to meet the economic, environmental and social challenges that we are facing through climate change and peak oil.
Transition Exeter
Transition Exeter is a local response to the global challenges of climate change, economic hardship, and shrinking supplies of cheap energy. Our aims are to: 1) increase the quality of life in Exeter, aiming for a healthier, happier and more empowered community; 2) reduce our negative impacts on the environment, and 3) reduce the negative impacts on us of climate change.
Transition Exeter is a member of Transition Network, a movement of communities coming together to re-imagine and rebuild our world. Read more on the Transition Network website.
