The Power of Just Doing Stuff - The Transition Movement!
January 20, 2017
The Power of Just Doing Stuff - The Transition Movement!
"Transition - it's the opposite of us sitting in our armchairs complaining about what's wrong, and instead, it's about getting up and doing something constructive about it alongside our neighbours and fellow townsfolk. And people tell us that as a result of being involved in their local "transition initiative", they're happier, their community feels more robust and they have made a lot of new friends."
Rob Hopkins, Co-founder of the Transition Network
There are now over 1100 registered Transition initiatives in 43 countries working together to create resilient communities and to raise awareness of climate change, peak oil and their dependence on economic models that insist on continued growth despite Earth's finite resources. We will talk about what we have been doing in NDG, share our dreams and learn about yours.
We look forward to meeting you!
