Transition Towns
The Transition Movement is a vibrant, grassroots movement that seeks to build community resilience in the face of such challenges as peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis. It represents one of the most promising ways of engaging people in strengthening their communities against the effects of these challenges, resulting in a life that is more abundant, fulfilling, equitable and socially connected.

I love the idea, even though the website/org is filled with micromanaging. There are apparently 65 cells in operation.

Does this have any connection to The Global Transition Initiative report of the Global Strategy Group from the Tellus Institute?
Also, I have to make note of how much white people, particularly English speakers, do *so* love all of our words (after that last sentence). Truly we are a logocracy.
