Started by a few keen and energetic Torontonians in late 2009,
Transition Toronto (TTo) was created to make our City
more resilientto the effects of peak oil, climate change, and economic instability.

 

Due to the size of our City,
TTo
acts as a hub, serving the many smaller, individual
neighbourhood Transition Initiatives we hope will develop. Our vision and activities are based on the model of
Transition Towns – a social movement developed in the UK, which has become a global movement. We don’t have all the answers but we strive to do what we can, and do it
now, rather than wait for the perfect set of solutions (if there is such a thing).

 

Join us on this journey!

 

 




NEWSFLASH: In April 2012, 
Transition Toronto was granted "OFFICIAL" status as part of the global
Transition Network!!

Convert platic into oil.

This is a video of a Japanese invention to convert plastic garbage into oil. Does anyone have a way to measure the carbon footprint? What's the energy return on investment? Would it result in greater consciousness and reduction of plastic, or complacency about consuming more plastic? Interesting all the same. Next we'll probably be mining landfill sites for plastic.…
