Following on from the "Potato Days 2010" 'sticky' on Vegging Out: a note on "Transition Networks".
Way back in Jan 2008 'Tracey' started a thread on "Transition Towns" though at that stage not many had heard of the idea, see
http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ion-towns.html
Two years on it's a much more established organisation though perhaps still not widely known... Our local Potato Day is organised each year by �Transition Chesterfield� which is actually part of the national/international initiative which began in Totnes Devon in 2007 but is now seeking (quite successfully!) something approaching world domination and cooperation�. (there�s now about 160 Transition Towns around the UK and over 270 around the world). See:
Transition Towns WIKI :: TransitionNetwork / TransitionNetwork
Transition Network sees Grow Your Own, allotments etc as part of a larger community movement developing solutions to issues surrounding carbon fuels, climate, food supply, skill and craft exchange etc�. so today it was Seed Potatoes PLUS!
If you live in or near Chesterfield the local details and events are at:
Transition Chesterfield
If you want to locate your nearest Transition organisation there�s a full list at
Transition Towns WIKI :: TransitionNetwork / TransitionCommunities
