Climate Change is happening. Peak Oil is now. Transition Town Brixton is a community-led initiative that seeks to raise awareness locally of Climate Change and Peak Oil. TTB proposes that it is better to design that change, reduce impacts & make it beneficial than wait to be surprised by it. We will vision a better low energy/carbon future for Brixton. We will design a Brixton Energy Descent Action Plan - the route-map to the future. Finally, we will make it happen. A Transition Town consider the challenges of the future as opportunities to rethink the way we do everything, to reconnect with our planet and our community and to relocalise. Themed working groups are formed to vision and plan a transition to a better low energy future in food, health, work, culture etc. Localisation is key and will require that we rediscover many lost skills. TTBrixton aims to be inclusive, imaginative, practical and fun. And to build a local community that is more interconnected, resilient and self-reliant.

Low Carbon Exeter is a dynamic civil action initiative. Our main aim is to respond to the challenges of climate change and resource depletion in a way that is conscious of the global scale, but makes practical and insightful changes on a local level. For more about us go to The Vision section. Welcome to the Low Carbon Exeter city in transition website, the online platform for helping to make a low carbon Exeter. We're continually improving and adding useful tools and interactivity, so please take time to look through the site and revisit it frequently as this helps us to improve it for you, to contribute yourself find out about how this site works.

Engaging the community in designing a vibrant low energy future for Falmouth and the surrounding area to face the twin challenges posed by Peak Oil and Climate Change. Please join us and participate in the process. Transition Falmouth is part of a movement addressing the two greatest issues of our time: a changing climate and declining oil production. We are working to develop low energy solutions in all aspects of our lives. Transition Falmouth has set up a number of working groups including food, arts & crafts, transport, health & wellbeing, waste, built environment and economics. We believe solutions will arise from engaging the creativity, imagination and knowledge of people in Falmouth. Our aim is to create active and supportive partnerships between individuals, groups and local government. Help us put Falmouth on the map as a community that engages its collective creativity and genius in building an abundant future.

Who are we? ...a group working towards a sustainable low-carbon lifestyle, based in West Kirby and elsewhere on the Wirral. We are one of dozens of Transition Town groups that have formed over the last two years throughout the UK and around the world. The global challenges of climate change and energy shortages are approaching - we feel that we may not be able to do much at a global level, but can do a lot at the level of the local community. We feel it is better to plan a local response in advance than wait until the problems become a crisis. And we feel that there will be many advantages of a low-carbon lifestyle. Membership is open to all at no charge.

By: NaturalFreeChoice.com When storing food it is necessary to verify how we are going to manage the shelf life of our food. Looking for the right conditions is essential to keep it in edible conditions so we stay healthy also during the time we consume this food. When choosing your food for storage make sure that is in good quality conditions. When choosing the place you should follow the following steps, so your food last longer: 1) Quality of Food - Be sure that you are buying or storing fresh food or food that is in good conditions 2) Rotate: Food that was stored first should be the food consumed first (First In First Out) or the one the one that expire first 3) Low Temperature: Try to low the temperature as much as you can in the area of storage since every increase of 18 degrees F cut by half the live of the food. Try to store in an area above 32 deg F and below 72 deg F.

Low Carbon West Oxford's EcoLibrary of shared energy saving tools

"Energy security is rapidly becoming a major concern for citizens of both developed and developing countries. We have grown totally dependent on low cost oil and gas for our everyday lives. As increased pressure is put on the remaining reserves, prices are rising inexorably, and alternatives must be sought. This requires a change of lifestyle for the 21st Century. Wastewatts is a technology discussion forum that looks at ways in which we might change our fossil fuel dependent lifestyles, off-setting petroleum with renewable fuels or those derived from industrial or agricultural waste."

Sustainable Brampton's purpose is to develop a local response to the environmental issues of the day and to promote more sustainable lifestyles in Brampton and surrounding area. Issues include carbon emmisions, food miles, organic food, saving energy and much more. There is a great deal our local community can do - buy local produce, recycle and use low energy bulbs.
