Tenterden Transition

On Wednesday June 8th we held our first informal meeting at The Vine Inn in the High Street. The meeting was attended by 11 people. For the minutes of the meeting please go to our blog at transitiontenterden.blogspot.com or our Facebook page 'Transition Town Tenterden' (see below for link). -- Jeff Hickmott

 I created this group page for those individuals who, like me, would like to see this town turned around and become greener, less wasteful and more resourceful, and an altogether more pleasant place to live. Everyone is welcome to join and to contribute. If we can get enough people involved, perhaps like many other towns across the globe we can make this community a true 'Transition town'.

Transition Town Tenterden wants to help the local community deal with climate change and the end of cheap energy (oil and gas). The group aims to create a stronger, happier local community which will be able to face these future challenges together and move gracefully into a more sustainable way of life. We call this process ‘transition’. There are now Transition Towns all over the world, all working on local solutions to global problems.

We want to:

- reduce waste and rampant consumerism, 

- reduce carbon emissions,

- promote local food security, 

- promote green and renewable energies,

- promote the town’s local economy.
