By getting involved in a community garden, or allotment or just planting out in your back garden we can help cut down on carbon emissions and unnecessary energy usage. You can rely on your own food supply instead of getting your garlic from Israel, or your apples flown in from New Zealand. The food will be fresher and taste better also. Check your food labels the next time you go to the supermarket and you will be amazed at how far away our food is coming from.
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. Sign up to get information about the latest events and news, or contact us for more info.
