About MASTT

MASTT stands for Marsden and Slaithwaite Transition
Towns.

MASTT is a community-led initiative which is taking proactive

steps to deal with the twin threats of Peak Oil and Climate Change.

MASTT is based upon the concept of 'Transition Towns' that was made

popular by Rob Hopkins around 2006 when it was applied to the town of

Totnes in England. This concept has quickly become widespread and as

of January 2009 there are 126 communities that are recognised as a

Transition Town. These include Kinsale (where the movement began)

and Totnes (where it was first applied), the list can be found at the

bottom of this page.

Rather than feeling guilty about Climate
Change

and worrying about the end of cheap oil, let’s do something now to make

our communities strong, prosperous and great places to live over the

coming turbulent years!

MASTT strives to be inclusive, imaginative, practical and fun. We

rely on input from people within the community to make this group

successful and we are always looking for new members to contribute to

projects we have in the pipeline.
