Transition Towns
Transition towns refer to projects that are created with the intention of increasing self-sufficiency thus hoping to reduce the likely effects of peak oil, climate destruction and economic instability. Through the initiative, families and communities live in harmony, support each other and work together to swiftly embrace changes and co-create a suitable new world.
To facilitate this process, the network creates informative films, publishes related books in a number of languages, conducts trainings and facilitates interactions between members.
