Transition Town Kinsale was the world's first Transition Town. It is a voluntary community initiative working to help make the transition from a dependency on fossil fuel to a low carbon future. What began in Kinsale in 2005 has become something of a movement internationally. Rob Hopkins, teacher of Permaculture at Kinsale Further Education College, produced the groundbreaking Kinsale Energy Descent Action Plan with his students, exploring ways in which the community could prepare for Peak Oil. One of his students, Louise Rooney, set about developing the Transition Towns concept resulting in the historic decision by Kinsale Town Council to adopt the plan and work towards energy independence. Rob moved to the UK where he established the second Transition Town in Totnes which has become an inspiring focal point of the movement.Since then they have been springing up all over the place. Bristol, Lewes, Falmouth and Stroud have all taken on the Transition Town guidelines. We look forward to welcoming you all to our stall.
