Just in case you were under the impression that Transition is a process defined by people who have all the answers, you need to be aware of a key fact.

We truly don't know if this will work. Transition is a social experiment on a massive scale.

What we are convinced of is this:• if we wait for the governments, it'll be too little, too late • if we act as individuals, it'll be too little • but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.
