A brief history . . .
• Transition Towns launched in Totnes in September 2006– if we wait for the governments, it'll be too little,

• Resilience: ‘the property of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically and then, upon unloading to have this energy recovered.’
• Ecological citizenship: intrinsic and ethical motivations towards protecting the environment
• Critique: the importance of political economy
