Transition Town Maynooth is part of an international movement with a shared concern: How can our community respond to the challenges presented by a changing climate and the end of the era of cheap oil? This website provides updates on our events, a list of local food sources, recipes that use local and organic food, a 'grow your own' page and information on peak oil.

Summer Local Food Event!!!
You are invited to the 4th annual food and film event hosted by
Transition Town, Maynooth the ICA hall on Saturday, June 23rd at 3pm.
We will be showing In Transition 2.0. Check out this website to see
the trailer: http://www.intransitionmovie.com/. We will be sharing
some good, home-cooked, locally sourced food, giving away some free
plants and having a chat over a cuppa on the ideas and themes raised
by the film. The Transition movement started in 2005 and now boasts
900 initiatives worldwide. It started life as a “community-led
response to climate change and peak oil” and has grown as a structure
for communities to become resilient in the face of these challenges
and that of the economic crisis. All aspects of our lives are made
possible by cheap fossil fuels, from the clothes we wear to the food
we eat. A community screening of this film is a chance to consider how
to look at the future squarely, to make connections with one another
and to find ways to thrive in challenging times. So whether you are
interested in the film or in simply coming along for some local food
inspiration and in meeting some like-minded locals, we hope to see you
there.
