  • A Path Toward Energy Descent

    On June 21-27, members of Transition Milwaukee in Wisconsin decided to challenge themselves and members of their community to see just how much they could reduce their carbon footprints while in the company of others. What resulted was a week-long event that brought together close to 150 people to explore what it meant to really "Power Down."
