Who We Are...

TRANSITION NEVADA is a networking site for those who seek local-scale green-oriented implementation of Transition models for local communities.

This site, and many like it, are being developed through grassroots participation, and is continually evolving. It is a spontaneously arising effort to synergistically connect transition workers with each other and to identify and nurture the development of useful and necessary local Transition Initiatives, solutions, and practices.

The Transition Movement embraces several other familiar monikers: Local Self Reliance, Appropriate Technology, Decentralization, Localization, Relocalization, Post Carbon, Post Petroleum, Beyond Oil.

This emerging Transition Culture will empower communities to squarely face the issues surrounding peak oil and climate change, and unleash the collective genius of their own citizens to find innovative solutions to these momentous challenges:
For all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how are we going to:
  • drastically reduce carbon emissions (in response to climate change);
  • significantly rebuild resilience (in response to peak oil);
  • and greatly strengthen our local economy (in response to economic instability)?

Transition Initiatives make no claim to have all the answers, but by building on the wisdom of the past and accessing the pool of ingenuity, skills and determination in our communities, the solutions can readily emerge. Now is the time for us to take stock and start re-creating our future in ways that are not based on cheap, plentiful and polluting oil but on localized food, sustainable energy sources, resilient local economies and an enlivened sense of community well-being.


 

PLANS FOR TRANSITION SOCIAL NETWORK IN THE STATE OF NEVADA

Greetings members from Nevada,

Transition Nevada has moved to a new location: If you desire to continue your membership in the Transition Social Network, please join http://transitionus.ning.com When you join, I will greet you and direct you to the new location.

If you created a local GROUP on this site, you will need to re-create your local group using this link: http://transitionus.ning.com/groups/group/new

It is important that you do this right away. This site will be deleted any day now.

If you have already taken this step, please visit the original site and encourage your neighbors to follow your example.

Let me know when you have questions.
