Peak Moment: The Transition Movement comes to AmericaOne response to the global crisis that is gaining enthusiastic momentum is the Transition Towns movement.

It's ... positive, pro-active [and] engages the whole community in building resilience into their world." Sharing highlights from The Transition Handbook by founder Rob Hopkins, she elaborates on a flexible twelve-step process to empower community organizers in unleashing the creative genius of their community and building an Energy Descent Action Plan.
