The Transition Movement and I-Power are not connected in any way. Groups on this site are just a way for people to express & talk about their common interests. As for informative links, I just put up the ones that I knew about on the Resource Links Page. There is a lot of stuff out there on the web about the movement because it has been around for a while; so a Google search will get you THOUSANDS of hit results.

Not that clear to me how to "function" as part of a group as such.
What sort of things can be done?
And apart from the posted links where can I read more general information about this movement? In particular I am interested in knowing whether this is something which is based outside of this website - to which this group is simply a small part of - etc.

I'd like to discuss something that bothers me about people, how often times people condemn others for doing something wrong all the while ignoring their own transgressions. I'm going to use an extreme example of school shooters. Society condemns…See More
