TransportationIf you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around. |

Mar 3, 2014 Holiday choice, bike or car? What made me feel good and liberated by Linzi Martin |
HousingA human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general. |

EnergyRenewable, carbon-based, local, regional, cross-border, steamed from tar, extracted from the wind, waves, or sun, energy is the stuff of modern human life. We can live without it, but few of us would. Rather, we waste it with abandon. Here is the place to discuss our relationship to the powerful force that is nature's fury. Wield it carefully, or not at all. |

EconomicsPolitics is tactics, economics is strategy. If you want to change the world, change the economic relationship between people, their terms of trade, their relative economic value in the global "marketplace." If the heart of politics is local, the basis of economics is your wallet. Vote with it. That vote will count for more than every other you case. Here is where we discuss the financial ties that bind us together, or rip us apart. Lets make it the former, and let's put us all on a more equal footing. |

EcologyPerhaps not the only reason for Transition, but maybe the most important, our Environment is by far the most difficult to "fix" after it is damaged. It also has ways of taking our predations back out on us. Global warming is hurting, and killing, millions every year, and causing billions of dollars of property damage. Here is where we can discuss how to protect Gaia, or at least to hurt her less. Without ecology, we have no economy. |

Arts/Celebration/Community GatheringsNo movement goes anywhere without spirit, soul, joy, and even partying. Fun and excitement must reign supreme, and the arts provide the ways and means to engage, entertain, and truly teach. |

HealthHealth, of the person and of the community, is necessary both for the survival and success of our society and species. It must be maintained and celebrated, and cannot be allowed to decline. |

Spirituality"Heart and Soul" is the foundation of a movement for real and lasting change. We must engage the spirit of humanity to take meaningful action. The only question is how. |

PoliticsPolitics is the activity of people in governing themselves, and starts when just two people meet. So multiply the complex relationship of those first two people by several hundred thousand more, and you get municipal, or Transition Town, politics as we know it. So, now, how should Transition Town politics really be? Have your say. |
