Transition Towns are communities that seek out methods for reducing energy usage as well as increasing their own self reliance in positive response to climate change and ever-escalating prices in fossil fuels. They’re places that are more economically independent, ecologically sound, and socially connected. As a globally-connected marketplace, we are coming to realize that unbridled growth is not sustainable, and that reliance on imports from afar may become an impossibility within just a few years. Far from being in a hopeless situation, we have the ability to respond with confidence and optimism as active and engaged citizens - by starting down the ‘transition’ path.
