"Transition Westcliff is an exploration of how the people of Westcliff on Sea and the surrounding area including Southend, Prittlewell, Leigh, Shoeburyness, Eastwood and Thorpe Bay can prepare for a carbon constrained, energy lean world. TW is a community-led initiative which is working towards the creation of an Energy Descent Action Plan for the town. The thinking behind TW is simply that a town using much less energy and resources than we presently consume could, if properly planned for and designed, be more resilient, more abundant and more pleasurable than the present. "
What have you done today to lower your impact?
We are washing away the foundations of our existence on every front. It is high time we move from crashing about on the planet like a bull in china shop and find a way to go forward with intent. We must find systems of living based on sustainability. The systems and tools exist, it is up to each of us to adopt them.
