Year of Transition Kick Off

Here, in brief, is the message of the Transition Movement: 

  • We are faced with a number of problems of catastrophic proportions. These, like chaos from climante disruption and  peak oil production, will force change upon us – whether planned or unplanned – and it’d be better for us if we planned our changes.
  • Neither technology nor individual initiatives alone will solve the problems. Grassroots, local initiatives, community by community, are needed to provide the collective efforts that empower people, unleash creativity, and thereby build community resilience.
  • Taking ownership of the need to create solutions, like energy descent plans, may allow us to create a better society than our current one. 


We welcome your participation. Please join in the discussion on Sept 21st.
