What Does a Transition Business Look Like?

Is your business a Transition Business?

  1. Read through these two descriptions of Transition Towns and extrapolate to your own Transition Business.
  2. Ask yourself if your business is willing to commit to these standards and practices. Do you offer products and services that you believe "[harness] local creativity to come up with real, practical solutions for how [your] community can manage the transition to a lower energy future by increasing it's local resilience..."
  3. Start a Group on this site, if the answer above is Yes. Name your group after your company. Use your company logo for a graphic. Describe your products and services, and why you consider yourself a "transition business". Include your website. Invite your customers to join your Group. Encourage them to coach you at becoming even better at being a TB. Use your Group's individual mailing list to contact your customers regularly. We will encourage our whole membership to put you to the test -- if they agree that you're a credible example of a transition business, who knows, they may well join your Group!
Be sure to ask questions about the intent and mechanics of this offer.

It takes a village of transition businesses to make a transition town!
