Oakvillegreen invites you to learn about Transition Towns, a global movement that seeks to inspire, catalyze and support community responses to peak oil and climate chaos. Hear how citizens, gathering together in their own communities and using their own knowledge, skills, creativity and imagination, have been coming up with exciting projects to make their communities more livable, healthy and resilient.

Worldwide a trillion (1 000 000 000 000) plastic bags are used and disposed each year. In Oakville, we use 87,500 of these bags each day - that's 31,850,000 a year.

It's time something was done about them. Many communities and countries have either banned them or put a price tag on them to encourage shoppers to use reusable bags.

We think the time is right for us to move in that direction.
