Transition

The Transition Network is an international grassroots movement composed of a series of practical and empowering projects which involve the wider community within a geographic location (with a strong emphasis on including the marginalized and fostering social diversity). These projects attempt to co-create visions, lifestyles, and infrastructure that ensure an abundant and nourishing future that answers the needs of the community, in a healthy, local, regenerative manner, all the while promoting Resilience and Independence from fossil fuels.
