Transition Initiative

A world-wide organization focused on bring communities back together, increasing sustainability, decreasing climate change and rebuilding ecomonies through local work, not global.

Think Global, Act Local is prefect for these folks.

Their January Newsletter

We greet a new decade with a clearer knowledge of limits, a richer sense of community, and a deeper understanding of what it means to chart a personal journey towards resiliency and a reduced carbon footprint. While we are cautioned by Sharon Astyk to practice losing, we can be truly heartened by all those stepping up to adventure with us and the impressive new tools they bring. Sustainable NE Seattle has developed a discussion guide for groups studying the Transition Handbook. Transition Santa Cruz has thoughtful tip sheet on going door-to-door and engaging your neighbors and Ben Zolno has a new video on Why Transition.

Around the world communities are rising to the challenge. Transition Network co-founders Peter Lipman and Ben Brangwyn in conversation with Vicki Robin will discuss what is happening in the Transition Movement in the UK and in other countries around the world. Add your questions when you register for this free event scheduled for Wednesday, January 27th at 10 am PST.

On the news front, Transition Initiatives have been seen in: Yes Magazine, Huffington Post, and other local papers like the Pasa Robles Press.
