WHO WE ARE ...

What is a Transition Town (or village / city / forest / island)?

It all starts off when a small collection of motivated individuals within a community come together with a shared concern: how can our community create the changes we want to see in the world?

TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More

Our goals

 

  • To empower communities to respond differently
  • To educate towards a reduction in consumption, energy efficiency and conservation awareness
  • To build community consciousness and strengthen the local economy through supporting local initiatives.

LOCAL MONEY! BUY LOCAL! EAT LOCAL! GROW LOCAL! LOCAL ENERGY!

Community Exchange System

The Community Exchange System (CES) is a community-based, global trading network using a money other than our familiar national one: an alternative, parallel, local, community or complementary currency system. In short, the CES is a new money system.
