"While peak oil and climate change are undeniably profoundly challenging, also inherent within them is the potential for an economic, cultural, and social renaissance the likes of which we have never seen." - Rob Hopkins, The Transition Handbook

TRANSITION FLORIDA is a social networking site for those seeking to rebuild local community resilience and self-reliance in the face of fossil fuel depletion, climate change, and economic crisis. This means reconnecting with each other and the earth, reskilling ourselves, revitalizing local agriculture, reclaiming our local economy, and reenvisioning our collective future.

TRANSITION FLORIDA is part of the international Transition Network and Transition US. Transition is based on the belief that "the future with less oil could be preferable to the present, if we plan sufficiently in advance with imagination and creativity." Since 2005, the Transition Movement has grown rapidly to include over 270 official community-wide initiatives on six continents.
