Transition Hereford is part of a grass roots movement seeking local solutions to the twin problems facing our society: "Climate Change" and ‘Peak oil’
A rapidly growing network of Transition Towns is developing across the UK and Ireland where local people have decided to start preparing for life when reducing our carbon emissions has become a necessity and we no longer have access to cheap energy supplies.
However, a lower-energy lifestyle does not have to mean a future of dreary enforced simplicity, increasing scarcity, drudgery and hardship; far from it! Those who are already trying it are finding rewarding community solutions and a better quality of life.
Transition Hereford has two main aims
To support people in cutting their carbon emissions and reducing their dependency upon fossil fuels to meet energy needs.
To enable self-reliance by strengthening and rebuilding social and economic connections at a local level.
Margaret Meade the well known anthropologist said:
“Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world – indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”
