Transition Towns

I am grateful to have discovered an organization that is working very meticulously to accomplish a lot of what I'd like to see in "A Village Full of Coops." The group is Transition Towns and their website is

I believe it would be great if many people in the 500 Fabulous Neighborhoods that Billy Talen talked about in the 2009 Mayoral race would work towards developing Transition Towns. The idea is that a group of 5 - 20 people who live in a contiguous neighborhood would initiate a Transition Hub and that the population of each Transition Town would be a maximum of around 20,000 people.
