“At the core of the Transition Town movement is the Transition Initiative which is an “emerging and evolving approach to community-level sustainability”, and many of these initiatives are appearing not only in the U.K. but in the U.S. They are based on four key assumptions:
That life with dramatically lower energy consumption is inevitable, and that it’s better to plan for it than to be taken by surprise.
That our settlements and communities presently lack the resilience to enable them to weather the severe energy shocks that will accompany Peak Oil
That we have to act collectively, and we have to act now
That by unleashing the collective genius of those around us to creatively and proactively design our energy descent, we can build ways of living that are more connected, more enriching and that recognize the biological limits of our planet. (134)”
