First Broadcast: 6 March 2007

TRANSITION TOWNS
Almost every week a new Transition Town emerges in the UK - a new
neighbourhood committing itself to engaging the community in plan for a
future without oil. In the process they are imagining a world that it is
cleaner, has an enhanced sense of community, is more local, where people are
fitter and healthier, and there is a stronger connection to the land. This
programme features an interview with the Transition Town founder, Rob
Hopkins - who set the ball rolling three years ago.
