Grow Forward Grovenor

Grow Forward Grovenor A transition initiative in the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Grow Forward Grovenor is a transition initiative at the community level.

The Transition Town movement started in Ireland, and grew rapidly throughout the United Kingdom. It is a grassroots movement that has spread all over the globe in just a few years. Right here in River City, a group of enthusiastic people started the Transition Edmonton initiative, including an energetic leader from our own community. The idea behind transition towns is to adapt our society to meet

the major upcoming challenges of climate change and peak oil. The plan involves using far less energy, in response to increasing energy prices and rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere. More generally, it is a plan for developing sustainable and resilient communities – using less, and having backup systems to withstand climate change and economic hardship. Since every local community is distinct, and faces different circumstances, the transition town philosophy empowers citizens to find the innovative solutions that work best for them.

The terms transition town, transition initiative and transition model refer to grassroot community projects that aim to increase self-sufficiency to reduce the potential effects of peak oil, climate destruction, and economic instability. The Transition Network, founded in 2006, inspired the creation of many of the projects. A number of the groups have officially registered with the organisation. The first initiative to use the name was Transition Town Totnes, located in the United Kingdom. Transition initiatives have been started in locations around the world, with many located in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Australia.
