The Transition Movement is a worldwide network of
people working locally to move away from fossil fuel-base
infrastructure toward locally-based systems. Projects include
community-owned renewable energy utilities, local food security
projects and farmers markets, local currencies, conversions of
lawns into edible landscapes, waste reduction, ecosystem
restoration, social entrepreneurship—all things that cultivate
resilient and healthy communities.
Don Hall, long-time leader in the
Transition Towns movement, with a background in permaculture and
organic farming, is author of the new book, The Regeneration Handbook: Transform
Yourself to Transform the World. In the podcast he talks
about some of the many successful projects of the movement, as well
as the stages of development inherent in movement-building and
social change.
