Transition – It’s Up To You @ Haven's Center
Aug 7 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Are you feeling curious? Critical? Excited? Daunted?

The Transition movement is made up of people like you who are already feeling the benefit of connecting with others to take care of themselves, their community and the planet.

They hope you’ll join them at the next Transition Houston meeting as they explore local issues and how to raise awareness enabling us to make informed decisions in November and beyond. Educating and empowering members within our communities and our elected officials is an integral part of bringing about the changes we need. By continuing to learn, share and take action with one another, we can transform our present and our future.

Between the things we can do as individuals, and the things government and business can do to respond to the challenges of our times, lies a great untapped potential. It’s about what you can create with the help of the people who live in your street, your neighbourhood, your town.

If enough people do it, it can lead to real impact, to real jobs and real transformation of the places we live, and beyond!

Transition Houston hope to see you there! Bring a friend!
