Local Resilience: A Transition Town Weekend

For those that see today’s diminishing oil supplies, economic disparities, and climate change as just the tip of the iceberg, change is necessary and that’s where the Transition Network comes in.  Transition is a community-organizing plan that responds to the realities of climate change and the shrinking supplies of cheap energy. 
Join us at South Church, 343 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY with trainers Tina Clarke and Pamela Boyce Simms and learn how to build strong and resilient communities that can weather all kinds of storms.  According to John Bell, founder of Transition Westchester, “We’ve just been through Hurricane Sandy. We’ve seen the first gas lines since the 70s. Something is changing. Transition Training will help you understand what is changing and will give you tools to deal with these changes.”


Friday, February 1, 6:00-9:00PM, dinner included; Saturday, February 2, 8:30AM-5:00PM, lunch included; Sunday, February 3, 1:00-6:00PM, dinner included.   Registration and details at http://rootsandwingswestchester.blogspot.com.
