The Transition starts here, now and together

One day in 2005, Rob Hopkins, an ordinary British citizen, started knocking on
his neighbors’ doors in the small town of Totnes, where he had just settled.
He was proposing that they come together to organize nothing less than a new,
locally based economy. A new model, the Transition Town, harnessing resources
at hand: no longer expect food to arrive from the other side of the planet at
great fuel costs, but instead create short food supply chains and cultivate
all the available land (gardens, rooftops, municipal parks); no longer
complain about pollution, but federate fellow citizens around a project of
local renewable energy cooperatives; no longer rail against the banks and the
stock markets, but adopt a local currency that enriches the community. His
experience has not only been successful in Totnes; it has spread to 1,200
cities in 47 countries. Each of the Transition Towns are transforming their
communities, without fanfare, without outside funding, making them more
autonomous and more resilient to the crises looming ahead—a network of oases
offering a wealth of solutions.
