From Sustainability to Transition

As Billy Joel says, “It’s all rock and roll to me.” Indeed, there are many different movements addressing how we live and the anticipated socio-economic changes due to a confluence of storms – peak oil, population increases, climate change, etc.

Some of these efforts, like Transistion Culture, attempt to facilitate action on the local level. Transition Culture employs marketing techniques to inspire people toward local human interaction. Considering most Americans’ (US) only community experience comes in the style of PTA, bolling league, religion, and the like, marketing techniques are a reasonable way to proceed.
