Acknowledgements

Transition Streets grew out of the Transition Streets program based in Totnes, Devon, England. We acknowledge
and thank them for their manual, which inspired the development of this workbook. We also thank the team
at Transition Newcastle (NSW) who developed a workbook and program for Newcastle and the Transition
Streets National working group (NSW and Victoria) for their work in developing the national workbook and
program (based on the Newcastle workbook) for use throughout Australia.

We would also like to thank the Canberra Team who contributed to the creation of the original Canberra
Workbook and many of whom provided vital feedback on this version: Cindy Steensby, Claire Havens, Daniel
Ong, Ian Swain, Jennifer Tonna, Jodie Pipkorn, Karen Jesson, Kaveri Chakrabarty, Lee Wallace, Leigh Duxson,
Lish Fejer, Luke McClean, Maureen Regan, Patrick Finneran, Peter Nguyen, and Su Wild-River. We would also
like to acknowledge the ongoing support of Communities at Work

While Lily Dempster from The Neighbourhood Effect rewrote this workbook with significant and indispensable
input from SEE-Change Project Officer, Jennifer Tonna and advice from SEE-Change Executive Officer, Liam
Lilly, we would like to thank Professors Bob Slonim and Ellen Garbarino from the University of Sydney, who
provided invaluable feedback on the new Transition Streets Canberra program and the behavioural science
strategies that underpin it.

The ACT Government made this workbook a reality by awarding SEE-Change a 2014-15 Community Support
and Infrastructure Grant and a 2016-17 Multicultural Participation Grant.

We would also like to thank and acknowledge ActewAGL, as they have generously partnered with us to share
consenting participants electricity and gas data to enable an evaluation of the program and to help us track
energy-related emission reductions for Transition Streeters.

We would like to thank the University of Canberra students Julia Vinh, Ben Goodwin, Andrew Duff and
Alexander Gladwish who designed the online Ecological Footprint calculator.

Lastly we would like to thank Guy Dempster for his immaculate graphic design of the workbook, which he
completed under tight deadlines and at a considerably reduced rate, in support of this program and its goals
of strengthening ecological sustainability and community in Canberra.
