Transition Town Greater Media

Transition Town Greater Media has been an active initiative since 2009. We have active Tree Tenders group and a Green Wagon project that promote native plants and trees, we’ve put on hundreds of educational events and potlucks, run a Solarize program and helped initiate others, put on Open Streets events and EcoFests, a Green Sunday Holiday Fair that features local handmade goods, and we work with our local municipal government and county government on several programs, including starting a borough-wide food waste composting program. We have been running a FreeStore since 2014, and a small-business loan and support group since 2019.  We have an active Resilience Working Group, an Alternative Health Group, a Foraging Circle, a Fire Circle, a Civil Response Group and more.   On May 1, 2026 we expect to be named a “Home for Humanity” by the One Home Journey initiative, the first Transition Town to receive this distinction.

We helped create and belong to a MidAtlantic regional hub called MAST (MidAtlantic States Transitioners) and have been active with Transition US working groups when they were operating.
