Transition Town Greater Media has been an active initiative since 2009. We have an active Biodiversity group that promotes 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 kitchen waste composting program. We have been running a FreeStore since 2014, and a small-business loan and support group since 2019.

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