- Transition Town Totnes
- What is Totnes doing to combat Globalisation?
- In 2012 the coffee giant Costa Coffee planned to open a Coffee shop in Totnes
- Almost 6000 people signed a petition and 300 wrote to the council to object
- There were protests in the streets when the business executives came to Tones
- In 2007 Totnes launched its own pound
- The local pound helps the local economy and makes the place more unique which potentially encourages tourists to the area
- What is Globalisation?
- The process of businesses developing international influence or start operating on international level
- Examples
- Mc Donalds
- Costa Coffee
- Globalisation has said to cause 'placelessness' where a local community looses its uniqueness
- This can ultimately lead to Clone Towns where a high street is dominated by chain stores which makes each own look the same
