Education and engagement are vital in tackling climate change. By providing knowledge and awareness about the environment, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and take meaningful action. Engaging people in the climate challenge fosters a sense of responsibility and collective effort, driving positive change for a sustainable future.
Communities across Devon are set to benefit from a major new climate action initiative thanks to £1.5 million in National Lottery funding.
This year Transition Town Totnes (TTT) is celebrating their upcoming 20th birthday with our first Midsummer Festival, a vibrant weekend-long celebration to honour nearly two decades of climate action and community-led change, with a weekend of music, art, theatre, and interactive visioning events.
Energy Local Totnes, a community renewable energy club operating in the Devon South Hams, has reported significant cost savings for its 48 current members, while continuing its drive to reach 200 founding members by November.
