"When the first Transition town was established five years ago in Totnes, Devon, the 'experiment' was simple. Like-minded people would work on creating a more sustainable community to reduce their dependency on oil. By 2008, there were 100 registered initiatives, in 11 countries. Today, there are more than 850 Transitions, in three times as many countries. More than 300 groups have signed up in the past year.
"In London, there is a network of around 40 Transition initiatives. Projects range from a new mobile-phone-based local currency, launched under the 'Brixton pound', to the creation of a community allotment on the platform of Kilburn Underground station."
