Transition Towns. Naresh’s journey from suburban New Jersey to the town of Totnes in Southwest England led him to become deeply involved in environmental activism and community building. He shares the story of how he and Rob Hopkins founded Transition Town Totnes, and its rapid growth into the global phenomenon that is the Transition Town movement.

● The Transition Town movement began in response to the urgent need for action on climate change and resource depletion.

● The Transition Town concept spread worldwide with no central certification, encouraging local adaptation and feedback.

● Transition trainings provide participants with the skills needed to successfully set up and run a Transition Town in their own community.

● A notable example is Transition Town Fujino in Japan, with its alternative school and solar energy projects.
