How has Transition Streets changed Totnes and district?

Over 550 households are each cutting an average £570 from their annual household bills and 1.2 tonnes from their carbon footprint. 

38% of them -  homeowners, tenants, community living and sheltered housing residents - have low disposable incomes. 

The Department of Energy and Climate Change GfK NOP report found that Transition Streets 'has had a number of postive outcomes on the opinions and behaviours of Totnes residents.' More information...

'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.'
