Transition Oz: australia

What is a Transition initiative? It's a grassroots process that helps a community become more resilient, more sustainable, more diverse, stronger, and happier.

Global Transition initiatives have created projects around food, energy, biodiversity, education, housing, waste, arts, and more - local responses to the global challenges of climate change, food sovereignty, biodiversity loss, economic hardship, etc. These small, local responses help show the way forward for governments, big business, and the rest of us.

Transition Oz is a blog for, by, and about those idealistic and passionate souls who are working to transition Australia to a brighter, more resilient, more sustainable future. It is mainly about sharing our stories, with the hope that together we can create a new "planetary story" for our communities, this unique land, and the planet.
