Welcome to Transition Rogers Park!
Transition Rogers Park is grounded in the global Transition Town Movement. And ... we've just been approved as the first Transition Initiative in Chicago, and the 84th in the U.S!
Together, we are working toward:
• A low-carbon future, in response to climate change.
• A low-energy future, in response to peak oil.
• A local, living economy, in response to ongoing global economic instability.
