The 3000-mile Caesar salad, with romaine lettuce shipped from California, does not make sense in a world with shrinking resources. \u00a0Neither does eating peaches and raspberries from Chile in the dead of our winter. \u00a0As any military strategist will attest, long supply lines are bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need a way of life that can be sustained for generations to come. The key concept is Relocalization<\/strong> \u2013 communities providing our own food, housing, transportation, education, sustainable energy, arts and recreation, and doing it together.\u00a0 <\/strong>Through this work we honor our elders who remember what a lower energy life is like. We honor our youth by giving them a vision with skills and practical tools to create satisfying and meaningful lives. We honor ourselves by awakening the creativity within each of us to a purpose worthy of our time and energy. Together we create lives that are fulfilling, socially connected, and resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The international movement of Transition Town carries a vision that every community has engaged its collective creativity to unleash an extraordinary and historic transition to a future beyond fossil fuels, a future that is vibrant, abundant, and resilient, one that is ultimately preferable to the present. Columbia Resilience shares this vision on a scale applicable to our Region and we welcome all the creative hearts and minds that are already working to create this vision. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Problems we know!
