So you ask “What is the Transition Movement?”: The Transition Movement is comprised of vibrant, grassroots community initiatives that seek to build community resilience in the face of such challenges as peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis.
Transition Initiatives differentiate themselves from other sustainability and "environmental" groups by seeking to mitigate these converging global crises by engaging their communities in home-grown, citizen-led education, action, and multi-stakeholder planning to increase local self reliance and resilience. They succeed by regeneratively using their local assets, innovating, networking, collaborating, replicating proven strategies, and respecting the deep patterns of nature and diverse cultures in their place.
Transition Initiatives work with deliberation and good cheer to create a fulfilling and inspiring local way of life that can withstand the shocks of rapidly shifting global systems.
Please join us for our Fourth in a series of discussions designed to create a healthy and resilient community.
For those of you who missed the last event, the evening will include a brief over view of the Transition Initiative Process. We will plan together a series of community speaker events for next year, highlighting the fantastic energy of existing local groups & businesses that are part of the Transition Process on Mercer Island.
We will discuss how these activities fill-in a larger possible FUTURE VISION MAP for Mercer Island.
