We stand at a crossroads - do we ignore the related challenges of energy, economy and environment? Or do we join together in our communities to create a more fulfilling way of life that uses less energy and resources, and helps communities become healthier, more sustainable places to live?

Transition OKC believes that working together, using fun, creativity, innovation, and collaborative grassroots actions, we can meet these challenges while forging a more sustainable and resilient economy and way of living. 

We use the Transition Handbook, written by Rob Hopkins, to guide us on our journey to healthier, sustainable neighborhoods and cities.

Our Transition Team meets to discuss and plan ongoing projects and initiatives:

• Going Locavore (Supporting and growing the local food movement)

• Re-Skilling (Teaching and promoting skills such as gardening, permaculture, cooking, conservation, energy efficiency and weatherization, etc.)

• Sustainability Demonstration Center

• Outreach and Awareness (Presentations, Movie Night, Website, Facebook, Twitter, OKC Resources, Fresh Greens Blog)

Anyone can start a Transition group to help their school, community, neighborhood, or church. Find out more at Become a Transition Initiative.

Sustainable OKC sponsors Transition OKC activities and is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
