What is a Transition Town -- Island, Suburb, Community, Region?

The following information is taken from the excellent website http://www.transitiontowns.org.nz/:

Transition Town initiatives are bringing people together out of a desire to explore how we - and our communities - can respond to the twin challenges of climate change and peak oil. We know we don’t have all the answers but we believe we have the innovation to create those solutions.

Each transition group networks with their local community on a coordinated range of projects designed to transition from high energy to low energy lifestyles in a positive and creative manner. Our aim is to re-localise our communities, making them vibrant, resilient and truly sustainable.

A substantial number of towns are working on peak oil and climate change education, and localisation initiatives in New Zealand.
