On Transition movement

An alternative way of dealing with climate change and peak oil through local environmental and social initiatives, this is more or less what transition movement is about. It started in the UK, but it quickly spreads all over the world.
A more detailed description can be found on wikipedia.
Information on the UK transition network can be found here.
For those interested in transition towns and how this works in reality, certainly take a look at what happens in Totnes, UK, the first transition town.

Also in Flanders, Belgium, the transition movement is spreading out.

• All kinds of initiatives in Flanders can be found on http://www.transitie.be/ (in Dutch)
• For those interested in the transition movement applied to the built environment, the website of Transitiearena Duurzaam Wonen en Bouwen is a good starting point (in Dutch).
