Thanks to Alan Murray who has sent in this Transition
Town Totnes mini bulletin. It explains some of the
activity that Totnes, the original Transition Town, gets up to. You
can find out more on their website.
Transition Totnes Totnes on Tonight's One Show.
We thought you might be know that on BBC One's 'The One Show'
tonight, Lucy Siegle will be presenting a piece about TTT.
She came down before Christmas with a crew and filmed some
interviews, as well as going off round town spending Totnes Pounds.
It'll be interesting to see how the piece turns out.

More Nuts Needed for Totnes!
As part of TTT's ongoing work to turn Totnes into the Nut
Capital of Britain, we're continuing to plant dozens more trees in
public areas around town (see next planting date, below).
But we urgently need more financial support to make this
happen, so that we can purchase the fantastic trees that are
specially bred for our climate, and all the protective materials to
ensure that they survive their vulnerable early years.
Any donations to help make this happen will be
joyfully received. And you can be happy in the
knowledge that your contribution will help make our neighbourhoods
more food secure - and delicious - in the years to come. Please
contact the TTT office.
