Welcome to the Transition Whidbey movement!

Transition Whidbey exists to collectively increase our island community’s self-sufficiency, strengthen our resiliency, and celebrate the journey TOGETHER by building a strong sense of community cooperation and trust through working with individuals, neighborhoods, local government, local businesses, schools, churches and other groups and organizations on behalf of our shared future.

As we face the challenges of peak oil, climate change, and global economic instability, we are choosing collectively to prepare for a better NOW and a much more SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
