Want to fire people up about energy use?
Not a spark of interest?
Transition Streets is a tried-and-tested, award-winning behaviour-change project that makes it easy to cut energy use and strengthen your neighbourhood.
And our Streets-wise programme gives you everything you need to set up a new Transition Streets project in your area. Transition Initiatives and community organisations who’ve used the programme explain how it works:

‘Transition Streets has had a huge impact in terms of enabling Transition Town Totnes to deepen and broaden its work,’ says Rob Hopkins, co-founder of Transition Town Totnes. ‘It helped us to build key partnerships, and brought a great deal of respect and kudos. Most importantly though, people who have completed it, in spite of saving significant amounts of money and carbon, rave about the new relationships Transition Streets has led to, and how they feel more a part of the community. It is here that the key power of Transition Streets lies for me.’
