Act
Understanding a problem is the first step. But understanding alone doesn't change anything. Here are practical things you can do — starting today, starting small, starting where you are.
Caring deeply about a problem you can do nothing about is exhausting. So Transition is built so that change is always close enough to touch: the transformation of a whole civilization can feel unimaginably large, but the next useful thing does not have to be — and each one brings the summit a little closer.
Not enemies to defeat, but capacities to build.
Not territory to conquer, but needs to meet.
Not institutions to seize, but dependencies to outgrow.
Not people to overpower, but systems people no longer need.
