WELCOME TO TRANSITION BOULDER COUNTY
Since August 2005, we have been working toward the relocalization of communities in Boulder County. In March 2006 we launched the BOULDER COUNTY GOING LOCAL! Campaign, with five key themes that are supported through a variety of events and publications:
- BUY LOCAL FIRST!
- EAT LOCAL!
- GROW LOCAL!
- LOCAL ENERGY!
- LOCAL CURRENCY!
In September 2007, we hosted A RENAISSANCE OF LOCAL!, a three-day county-wide festival, conference, and expo attended by more than 900 people. We also published Boulder County's first EAT LOCAL! Resource Guide in magazine format, now available online at www.eatlocalguide.com.
In May 2008, we became the first officially-recognized Transition Initiative in North America and subsequently changed our business name to TRANSITION BOULDER COUNTY.
In September, we delivered the first Training for Transition in the U.S., for leaders of local initiatives and "mullers" considering bringing Transition to their communities.
More to come...

Comment by Sapan Rinpoche - Lama Kunga Gyaltsen on October 17, 2008 at 1:46am - As a profoundly happy member of the new Transition Movement, I want to thank you, my Catalyst Mentors, Michael Brownlee and Les Squires, for starting TransitionBoulderCounty and TransitionColorado. Daily there are expansions and movement within our state and nation and the world, as the Transition Movement grows "virally." KUDOS to both of you, Michael and Les, for all that you do! Don't forget to secure lots of rest and Relax, Release & Radiate! Kindest regards, Sapan Rinpoche, TTLyonsCO
