Transition Towns Molly Scott Cato

Living Experimentally

A brief history... Transition Towns launched in Totnes in September 2006 – if we wait for the governments, it'll be too little, too late – if we act as individuals, it'll be too little – but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time. Transition Stroud launched in January 2007

Three key concepts Resilience: ‘the property of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and then, upon unloading to have this energy recovered.’ Ecological citizenship: intrinsic and ethical motivations towards protecting the environment Critique: the importance of political economy
