"The days of easy energy are over."
- David Fleischaker, former Oklahoma Secretary of Energy
As our country settles deeper into a recession, and we are faced with the extraordinary challenges of energy security and climate change, it is becoming obvious that we need to join together to help ourselves, our families, and our neighbors.
The mission of Transition Town OKC is to support the people of Oklahoma City as we transition from oil dependence to local resilience, energy security and sustainability. Working together, we can strengthen our local economy, support our local farmers, and develop renewable sources of energy. With those goals in mind, TTOKC is promoting a return of local communities and businesses.

Oklahoma City has a unique geography, natural resources, demographics, ideals, and history. What works for other cities may or may not work for us - we need to find our own path to energy security and local resilience. Transition Town OKC aims to act as a catalyst for our community to explore its own solutions to the energy and economic challenges we face.
Transition Town OKC is:
Inclusive - Everyone is invited to participate and contribute. We are non-partisan.
Positive - We focus on envisioning and creating a healthy, secure, resilient, and sustainable future.
Community Focused - We help people work together at the community level to address the challenges of economic insecurity, energy transition, and climate change.
Proactive - Creative thinking, hope, optimism and a can-do spirit can inspire our community to collectively work for solutions.
Transition Town OKC goals:
Transition Town OKC hopes to engage citizens in creating positive responses to the peak energy problem, not to present a set of solutions as the "answer." We don't believe that continuing with business as usual is a viable solution, but we do believe that some possible actions at the community level might include:
Join the momentum
