I live in beautiful Laguna Beach, California. A true resort and artist community, home of the “hippies” from the 60’s to current day. All walks of life enjoy living here. Surfers and sunbathers crowd the beaches. We have activists, sports enthusiasts, tourists buzz through town all year long. We are home to the Pageant of the Masters. I could go on, but you get the picture. Laguna Beach is a magical town.
Now Laguna Beach has Transition Laguna, which is the 10th official Transition Town Community in the United States. The 129th in the world. This is exciting to me. Let me explain. The Transition Initiative can be a town, village, or any community. They ask the question “For all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantly rebuild resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil and economic contraction) and drastically reduce carbon emissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?” Each community forms it’s own Transition Group, creating a sustainable future for the residents.
