Ecovillages act as research and training centres for sustainable development within wider society. Alongside the abundance of networking opportunities and the flow of inspiration within and between participants, the hosting Eco-Valley Foundation will serve as a living example and field of practice for the themes of this year’s conference:

The Big Energy Saving Challenge

Transition Omagh Energy Project. After many months spent wringing hands and declaring much like Captain Peacock in Juno and the Peacock that "Th' whole worl's in a terrible state o' chassis" - (Captain Boyle, Act III), Transition Omagh slowly moves into action.

We (Transition Poole) have been asked what we think. Has anyone else had experience of the Covenant in practice.
