You may be wondering how Austin is going to:
• Significantly build resilience in response to the end of the age of cheap oil
• Drastically reduce carbon emissions in response to climate change
• Strengthen our local economy in response to the global economic instability

Have you experienced your “Ah-ha!” moment, and understand the depth of the problems coming at us in these three areas? Or are you just curious about these issues? Transition Austin is an Austin organization, linked to a global network of similar organizations, whose objective is to spark the city's graceful change from an oil-dependent culture to one of local resilience, characterized by sustainable lifestyles. This is your opportunity to join us in building a truly sustainable community that is resilient to the shocks we face.

YOU are invited to join us, to share your ideas and skills. You can help us in the Hub group; or you can become a part of making a smooth Transition happen "on the ground" in your area of Austin.

If you'd like more information - about Transition, the issues driving it, or Transition Austin - we invite you to one of our monthly Introduction to Transition sessions. They happen on the first Wednesday of every month, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at the Carver Branch Library in east Austin.

The Transition Austin Hub is meeting monthly to do the business necessary to any organization, but mostly to discuss issues related to Transition and how we can get through it relatively unscathed.

We also have a Transition Pot Luck, for food and unstructured discussion, on the fourth Thursday of each month. Check the Transition Austin web site for details on all these activities:
