Thanks for the invitation to Transition East Bay. I'm new to the world of sites like this, groups, blogs etc. No facebook, not even a cell phone....says something about the power of the movement that it motivated a technophobe like me to navigate all of this. Anyhow, I think I've successfully joined Transition US, Transition California, and Transition East Bay. I look forward to meeting you in person at some point.

You're one of the first to see a new US Transition Map we rolled out this weekend. As this page develops, it will become a map of U.S. and World Transition resources. All 50 states are now active. Many are brand new! Go to CALIFORNIA and sign up. Invite others. Enter some of your local events. Start Discussions. Make Transition! Have fun!
