Transition Carrboro-Chapel Hill is developing projects geared toward making our community more resilient to environmental and economic shocks. But Carrboro and Chapel Hill already abound in efforts that are in the spirit of Transition. Our area is way ahead of the curve in this kind of thinking and action. And if you're from Durham or live closer to Durham, they have a new Transition effort at http://transitiondurham.org/

Many of those great local groups are listed below. Get involved with them, or join Transition action groups that are working in the areas you care most about.

You can also get involved by contacting local government or media to share your thoughts.
