For us in Otaki

WELCOME to Otaki's website for transition initiatives in our community.

Transition Initiatives throughout the world are bringing people together to explore how we – and our communities – can respond to climate change, peak oil and major economic challenges.

We are seeking to develop a range of projects designed to ease the shift from high energy to low energy SUSTAINABLE lifestyles. Together we can make our community, vibrant, resilient and truly sustainable.

We urge you to get involved, join a group or start your own and link up at our monthly meetings.
