Welcome to the Wikipage of Transition Town Whitstable - the first Transition Town in Kent!

(This page is regularly updated. Please bookmark us and visit again soon!)

We achieved Transition Status in December 2007 after first forming as a group in September 2007.

All are welcome to our public meetings and events in Whitstable and to join our emailing list - see details below.

Our Mission Statement:

Aim: Transition Town Whitstable aims to reduce its carbon footprint and dependency on fossil fuels. 

  We will achieve our aim by:-
  • Mobilising community action
  • Raising awareness, providing information and empowering action
  • Networking with groups and people already engaged in these issues
  • Identifying and setting up positive action projects to reduce our carbon footprint and dependency on fossil fuels
  • Creating a plan for the future - an Energy Descent Action Plan
