TRING in TRANSITION - is part of the Transition Towns movement. Tring is the 51st community worldwide to achieve Transition Town status - there are now over 100 Transition Towns. Over 1000 communities worldwide are in the process of becoming Transition Towns.
Tring in Transition is part of a worldwide movement, details of which can be found at : http://www.transitiontowns.org/, but it is best summed up in their question :“For all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly increase resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?"
For Tring in Transition we have as our aim “to encourage and enable our community to make the transition away from dependence on non-renewable energy to a safe and sustainable future.” This aim has been endorsed by Tring Town Council.
