Transition Westcombe is underway!

The Transition Towns movement continues to grow nationally and internationally and last night was the first public event of our local group, Transition Westcombe. Nearly fifty people came to watch a really interesting and inspiring film about how Cuba has coped with its own version of "peak oil" following the break-up of the former Soviet Union and to participate in a discussion afterwards about what we can do in our area to prepare for the inevitable transition to a low carbon economy.

It was great that so many people turned up and took part enthusiastically in the discussion. We've got a follow up meeting planned for 8th April which will hopefully start to turn the ideas and suggestions made into some tangible projects that will have a material impact on our bit of SE London
