Transition Tattenhallhas been trying to address the issues of Climate Change/ Crisis on a more local scale. A further meeting of the group was held in October to share ideas and thoughts about how the community might work together to contribute even in a small way to reduce carbon emissions, on the Butterfly Wing principle that if everyone was to take parts in some of this then major change can happen.

The Carbon reduction grouplookedat how we could all save money and reduce our carbon emissions, but also are looking at tips on how to stay warm this winter. They will be looking at a range of initiatives to help raise awareness on how energy can be saved, costs reduced, and therefore our carbon footprint reduced, making the links between lifestyle and energy use.
