Transition is a movement that has been growing since 2005. It is about communities stepping up to address the big challenges they face by starting local. By coming together, they are able to crowd-source solutions. They seek to nurture a caring culture, one focused on supporting each other, both as groups or as wider communities. As this is grassroots activism each town and city is completely different. Some focused on energy and created local energy groups; some on food, inspiring new ways grow in the local community.
