Transition Los Angeles

Transition Los Angeles is an area-wide network with an outlook toward a post-petroleum future. 

You can join in the action with any of several local Transition groups around the greater L.A. area, including the Environmental Change-Makers in Westchester (see complete list).  With these groups you can participate in fun classes, enlightening movie nights, deep think-tank discussions, or invigorating resilience-building projects.  (see the full area-wide calendar)

We use the Transition approach to prepare our local communities for a future which includes peak oil, climate change, and economic contraction, combined.  This "triple crisis" defines a certain set of solutions.  It calls upon us to build resilience: to grow our ability to flex and adapt with the sweeping changes ahead.

Transition Los Angeles is the local representative of Transition United States and the international Transition Network.

Come join in the fun!
