Our Trust

Posted on Home by The Transition Team · September 23, 2014 4:26 PM

After reading this, please endorse below as The Transition sees YOU as one of our many beneficiaries.

Intent: We unite and empower people to take positive action towards enhancing and protecting all life and our environment for future generations.

Purpose:  Our purpose is to construct real solutions by providing the support, space, and resources for the common heritage of the Earth's resources and  to do so via our collective knowledge.  We are committed to building community projects that promote organic farming, alternative transportation, clean drinking water, renewable energy, green building, and using music and the arts to convey the message.

With a special focus on street-involved youth and families living in poverty, we encourage community involvement through collaborative volunteerism, education, programs and media events. We help others enhance their food and housing security, learn life skills, and build confidence to make the transition to a more sustainable lifestyle - leading to a Global Egalitarian System for the good of all.

We strive to create an inclusive community where all members have the skills, confidence, and support to live a healthy  life.  It is our pledge to each other and to the world we are creating, to help each other live life to the fullest.  

 

Our method of collaboration within our Transition Inter-Community Network is based on scientific benchmarks to meet everyone's’ needs - instead of what’s most profitable - therefore exchange between members requires no monetary attachment.

  • Information
  • Benchmarks
  • Designs
  • Procedures

  • Funding for expansion
  • Intentional Communities
  • Co-ops

Process:

  • BUD Weekly meetings.

  • Scientific Method (Plan, Do, Study, Act)
  • If a problem is brought to light, a possible solution is then brought to the table, or an adjustment to a pre-existing process or structure is suggested.
  • We use the wisdom of the crowd via polls, 1 on 1 anecdotal interviews pooled together and reviewed for trends, as well as various types of crowdsourcing.
