Transition North Cornwall is just starting really - the two most active parishes are St Gennys and Jacobstow - St Gennys has formed Transition St Gennys - a non-profit company. Next Friday they are giving a talk on transition in a rural parish which I most certainly will be attending, and in February there is a presentation on sustainable tourism. (So much of the Cornish economy is tourism based.)]]> Transition towns https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=197&Focus=43774#Comment_43774 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=197&Focus=43774#Comment_43774 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:20:30 +0000 dazdread
The whole premise is that there is no single answer and that each community with have different needs and resources and so will have to find their own way. There are the basic steps to trach through though.

As with size the rule seems to be manageable chunks, cities down to the villages that originally merged etc., We have been trying to tackle one of the most comfortable conservative towns in the country and struggled, I have decided to do my street as a sub project and things have really taken off... found some neighbours with a love of drinking ;o)

Beware, it changes your life and perspective... I ask people not to ask me questions after my 4th pint these days unless they wish to open the flood gates :o)]]> Transition towns https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=197&Focus=44100#Comment_44100 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=197&Focus=44100#Comment_44100 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:04:59 +0000 Shepherd
