Transition Cotati

PLEASE SEE OUR MAIN TRANSITION COTATI WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION!

Transition Cotati is modeled on the Transition Towns concept initiated in the UK by Rob Hopkins. The Transition model is an inclusive, positive, engaging way for communities to come together and face the challenges of peak oil and climate change. See Rob Hopkins's blog and the main Transition Towns website. Note that we're not yet an officially endorsed "Transition Town".

Rebuilding the resiliency that has been lost to globalization is a main goal as we re-fashion our local economic, transportation, food, and healthcare systems and promote more community and connectedness and fun!

In 2008, Transition Cotati is sponsoring an awareness-raising program that will include a series of events including films, speakers, poetry, food, and other good stuff! Check the events listings for details as they're published.

THIS IS THE NEXT AMERICAN REVOLUTION
"We are at a stage in human history that is as monumental as changing from a hunter/gatherer society to an agricultural society and from an agricultural society to and industrial society. Where we're headed now will be different because we have exhausted planetary space and human space for us to continue to look at things through the Cartesian measurement of material things. We need to face the way we used the world for our gains, pleasures, satisfactions. This is the way we evolve to a higher stage of humanity. And unless we want to live in terror for the rest of our lives, we need to change our view about acquiring things. We have the opportunity to take a great leap forward in these very challenging times. We need to change our institutions and ourselves. We need to seize opportunities. We need to launch our imaginations beyond the thinking of the past. We need to discern who we are and expand on our humanness and sacredness. That's how we change the world, which happens because WE will be the change." -Dr. Grace Lee Boggs, 93, a long-time Detroit political and labor activist, author, and philosopher.
