TRANSITION LOSTWITHIEL

Climate change and increasing energy costs will alter our way of life - how we work, shop, travel and live will need to adapt.

Transition Lostwithiel is about using our own creativity and talent to build a closer and more resilient community for everyone to enjoy. It's about making a transition from an unsustainable way of life to a sustainable one.

If you live in the local community, contact us to share your ideas or take part in projects.

Great idea for gardeners!

Thanks to Southern Electric and Cornwall Council, Transition Lostwithiel has been able to obtain shades from the street lights which were replaced last year with low energy versions. The sky's the limit as to what uses these can be put to! They are in 3 sizes and make really good cloches (see more pics). If you'd like to have some, come along to Plant Swap or drop us an email
