An Introduction to Transition Communities at The Academy of Natural Science’s Town Square

Posted on | July 7, 2009 | Comments Off

Come on feel the noise
Girls rock your boys
We’ll get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild.

Perhaps I get a different idea when I hear the words “Quiet Riot,” but the Transition Movement is gaining steam (or wind or solar, preferably) and this event, while not necessarily “rocking,” should be very interesting.

The Academy’s under appreciated — yet well-attended — Town Square series is hosting a discussion of Transition Communities, which has the feel of an even greener New Urbanism movement.

Reservations are free, here.

Introduction to Transition Communities: Quiet Riot

Thursday, July 9, 6:30-8:30 pm

Our economy depends on long fragile supply chains powered by oil & coal.
Climate Change tells us we should change,
Peak Oil tells us we have to change.
Intertwined, these two issues tell us we must:
Re-localize our economy and reduce carbon emissions.

The Transition Movement acts as a catalyst to unleash local collective genius to produce locally all we can produce: food, energy, shelter, walkable community, health care…

If you are interested in the engaged optimism of Transition Community,
If you would like to help your community become resilient & self-reliant in a planned—even playful—energy descent, then join us – The Quiet Riot – on July 9th!
