Once you've viewed some of the videos cited on this page, you may get the idea that there's not much hope for us. The truth is, if we keep on going the way we've been going, there isn't much.
However, the future doesn't have to be all bad. Whether or not the government or the corporations do anything to give us a better future, we are still in control of our futures. The page of Videos about Transition is there to show you that we can create a happy future for ourselves, cheap oil or not. By reading this site, and then deciding to make your yard an edible yard, you have become part of the solution.
Congratulations and welcome!

Dmitri Orlov witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union
firsthand, from within it.

economy.
Escape from Suburbia
OK - suburbia is at an end; what now?
We escape from the trap that suburbia has become, that's what.
In this movie, you will "(m)eet ordinary people making
extraordinary choices as they tackle the key issues facing
us today - the rising cost and supply of energy, the
roller-coaster economy, and the faded memories of the
American Dream."

Global Dimming
Everybody talks about global warming; but there's another
phenomenon going on out there called "global dimming."
It's the reduction of light and heat from the sun caused by

It helps reduce the effects of global warming, but it also
causes some catastrophic results in its own right.
This video explains the phenomenon and its effects on us.
Earth 2100
This video was originally aired on ABC on June 2, 2009.
