On the 19th June, the 'Essex County Standard' published an article on Transition Wivenhoe, a group of people who want the community to make Wivenhoe a 'transition town'. This involves changing food production so that we can cope with the impact of falling oil production. Vegans say that abandoning animal products and the livestock industry is the best way to help the environment and avoid future food crises.
Transition Colchester is also being set up, and the group invite anyone who wants to get involved to contact them.
