Transition Houston

Here's another group of good people, trying to make this a better world. People like this are just about everywhere you look. But you have to look.



Welcome to Transition Houston

Transition Houston is an optimistic and energetic response to the dual challenges of climate change and peak oil at the local level. The Transition Movement supports the transition from oil dependency to local resilience by equipping communities with creative adaptations in areas such as food, energy, health, education, spirit and economy to generate a road map towards sustainable living.

Transition Houston serves to build on the wisdom of the existing resources in Houston’s diverse community to inspire, network and train localized communities to consider and adapt Rob Hopkins’ transition model. Together we can unite pools of ingenuity and skills to unleash the collective genius of our own people in finding self-determined solutions.

Transition takes action by:

• Raising awareness of peak oil and climate change and related issues.
• Building resilience across a wide range of areas and scales, and doing all we can to ensure general environmental resilience.
• Providing access to good information in ways which are playful, articulate, accessible and engaging, and which will enable people to feel enthused and empowered rather than powerless.
• Empowering communities with tools to relocalize its resources and reskill its members.

Transition Houston meets on the first Monday of every month at 7 p.m. at Urban Harvest, 2311 Canal St., Houston 77003.

Transition Houston is part of a movement to promote sustainable living and in general helping to rebuild and energize communities to show what’s possible when people come together to accomplish a common goal. The Transition “movement” is actually an international effort, but there are now several participants in the United States. Read more about Transition U.S. and Transition Texas!

Many of the organic farmer’s markets around Houston are made possible by an organization called Urban Harvest. They have all kinds of activities going on for people of all ages and are working to encourage people to begin their own gardens, etc.
