Transition US
Sustainable Delaware is a Transition US community. Transition US local initiatives are part of a global movement to transform local communities by making them more sustainable, more interconnected, and more resilient to change. It was started in response to anxiety over challenges the world is facing and has spread from one town in England to become a global phenomenon.
By coming together, local communities are able to crowd-source solutions. They seek to nurture a caring culture, one focused on supporting each other, both as groups and as wider communities.
