Things You Can Do Today

Welcome to Transition Aotearoa, New Zealands social networking site for transition initiatives. Transition 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.

There are efforts to re-invigorate this site rather than close it but dealing with Ning seems to be the hard part. Hope to have good news soon for new lease of life for TA.org.nz, Laurence
