Welcome To Transition Town Exmouth

We are a group of people dedicated to Exmouth, and to finding ways of rebuilding the local resilience of the town. At a time where more media and government attention is being focused on “global problems” such as energy security, food security, and climate change; we believe the solutions lie closer to home - in fact, within Exmouth. We are a positive voice for change, looking for local solutions so that Exmouth can move towards a sustainable, low carbon future - and still be a fun place to live!

See us on the “Exmouth People” website!

Why Transition?

Peak Oil is the term used to refer to the moment that global oil production hits it’s pinnacle, and begins a downward slide that, for the first time, will not be able to match our ever increasing demands. This will result (and already is resulting) in steepening fuel and food prices, along with many other changes to our current lifestlyes. More information on Peak Oil can be found on the tool bar.

Climate Change is now a widely understood concept, but one that local and national Governments are yet to properly address. Transition Town Exmouth believes that it is up to the community to push our representatives in the right direction, and to let them know that we are ready to make the changes necessary to help stop this global crisis.

The Future?

With the era of cheap energy coming to an end, Transition Town Exmouth aims to find ways that Exmouth can reconnect it’s ecological web of community. When we can no longer afford to fill our cars, or imported food becomes too dear, we will come to rely on ourselves and our friends for inspiration. This issue addresses every corner of our Town, from food production to transport, from education to housing.

If you are interested in how Exmouth can prosper after our dependence on cheap, finite resources ends, and how we can do our bit to confront the immediate challenge of Climate Change, then this site is for you.

Already many towns, Villages and Cities across the world are aiming towards Transition. The energy this has created has made a stir in the national media, and even The Archers are running a story about the movement! Exmouth does not intend to be left behind in what is the most exciting and necessary people’s movement of our generation.

TTE is open to everybody concerned with Exmouth, including our neighbouring villages and towns. I hope you enjoy navigating our website, and don’t forget to let your friends know about what we are doing!
