Transition Santa Cruz wants to engage community members in thinking about how we can increase our local self-reliance. Building Community Resilience, an 8 week study course, will explore what peak oil, climate change and economic instability mean for us individually and as a community and what skills and thinking tools we will need in order to embrace the transition before us. Wednesdays July 15- Sept 2. 6:30 pm-8:30 pm. $30-$90 sliding scale. Louden Nelson Community Center. For information, go to transitionsc.org or call (760) 271-8842.
