Latest Activity -- Who's Doing What...
Many cities have chapters of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local, Living Economies), a national organization. Most of the business owners and many of their customers will be Transition allies and more. Look for info regarding your area's chapter here.
Please read my posts on:
1.) Demand Side Management, Supply Side Reallocation, Neighborhood Redevelopment, and Transportation Planning
2.) Reforming Financial and Property Ownership Systems
3.) Agricultural and Food Issues

As someone who spend the past several months in Dallas, I've done a lot of thinking about the megalopolis problem. My feeling is that breaking down the mega-cities into manageable chunks - towns, communities or whatever - is the way it's going to ha…
Hi Judith,
We have a similar challenge in DC and we have no models to follow. As you rightly observe, the Totnes model doesn't exactly fit our conditions. Merely showing the End of Suburbia does not necessarily bloom into an initiative. Like the Ea…
Hi Judith,
I haven't read the Transition Handbook, yet. I'm still in queue at the local Libarary for it.
I'm not having much success at organizing Eugene/Springfield, OR Metro area or the Willamette Valley Watershed, so I can relate to what you wr…
I invite you to join a discussion about transition in large urban areas, defined at 100,000+ population. Are you ramping up a Transition Initiative in such a city? I am living in Oakland and we are doing events under the name of "Transition East B…

Report from Training for Transition - SF
Dear friends,
This is a report on the Training for Transition this past weekend at Fort Mason,
San Francisco.
There were 52 participants, from places as far flung as northern
Idaho, Nevada City, and Boulder, CO, wishing to know how to implement a
transition initiative. There was a (predictably) disprorportiontely large group
from Sebastapol/Sonoma. There were also several people from Santa Cruz there -
Santa Cruz is the first city in CA with "official" TT status. Apparently there

Elanne Kresser said… - Hi Judith,
Thanks for the invitation to Transition East Bay. I'm new to the world of sites like this, groups, blogs etc. No facebook, not even a cell phone....says something about the power of the movement that it motivated a technophobe like me to navigate all of this. Anyhow, I think I've successfully joined Transition US, Transition California, and Transition East Bay. I look forward to meeting you in person at some point.

- Welcome Judith! Great to see you here on Transition U.S. "... I'm very interested in permaculture, sustainable design, local food production , community building, etc... conflict resolution skills (NVC), organizational development, writing, event planning, etc....." -- We're so lucky to have all these interests!
You're one of the first to see a new US Transition Map we rolled out this weekend. As this page develops, it will become a map of U.S. and World Transition resources. All 50 states are now active. Many are brand new! Go to CALIFORNIA and sign up. Invite others. Enter some of your local events. Start Discussions. Make Transition! Have fun!
