Is Your Town in Transition? A market in Totnes, England, the first Transition Town (Courtesy of transitionnetwork.org), Out of a quaint English town, a sustainability movement goes global. 'We have all the technologies to [achieve sustainability],' says Transition movement founder Rob Hopkins, 'but we don’t have the social technologies to make it happen.' When I set out to investigate the appeal of Transition , a sustainability movement that has spread to 1,105 towns in 43 countries over the past eight years, I started with what I thought was a basic question: What are “Transition Towns” transitioning to?
“Resilience,” I was told. “What does that mean?” I asked, thinking vaguely of steel. “The ability to absorb shocks to a system!” Such bucolic but fuzzy visions are typical of Transition, which is more about shifting paradigms than prescribing solutions. But it would be a mistake to think that becoming a Transition Town means setting off on a clear-cut path to energy independence. Across the pond The art of hosting. Welcome | Transition Network.
