Connecting

It is often said that the scale of a proper response to peak oil and climate change would be akin to the preparations for World War Two. Every aspect of our lives needs to turn on a sixpence, in a coordinated and effective way. The ingredients in this section explore how Transition initiatives can play a part in that process, and take Transition to a wider audience.
