How can we respond to the challenges of more expensive and declining energy resources and an unpredictable climate? How can we create more sustainable and resilient ways of life even while facing economic and financial uncertainty? The Transition Town movement, which has grown exponentially over the last three years, has one answer: act as a */catalyst/* to educate and inspire communities to find their own, local, solutions. This non-partisan, inclusive, and positive movement believes we can build a better, healthier, and more satisfying way of life - if we act now, and work together.
