Just heard about this today. Found there is already a transition group in my neighborhood, so I requested membership. I am curious to see what they are going to be doing around here.

What it’s about:

“Our central survival task for the decades ahead, as individuals and as a species, must be to make a transition away from the use of fossil fuels – and to do this as peacefully, equitably, and intelligently as possible”.

The Transition movement represents one of the most promising ways of engaging people and communities to take the far-reaching actions that are required to mitigate the effects of peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis. Furthermore, these relocalization efforts are designed to result in a life that is more fulfilling, more socially connected and more equitable than the one we have today.

Relocalizing. Re-skilling. I love the idea of putting the power back in our communities, instead of waiting for the top of a hierarchical government entity to do it for us. And re-learning all the skills our grandparents had that we have de-skilled because of cheap production of goods.

I want to know who made the bowl from which I eat. I want to be connected to what I use in my life instead of going to Target. I want to sew. Knit. Can more food. Compost. Garden. With others, not alone. Peace. 2 years ago
